Wu vs Pudilova Prediction
.
Winner:'Lucie Pudilova (76%)
Method of Victory:'Decision (83%)
This is a fight between two fighters trending in opposition directions. On one hand, you have Lucie Pudilova, who has gone 5-1 in her last six fights, securing each of those victorious by going the distance. On the other, Wu Yanan has lost four of her last five outings – one by split decision and three unanimously.
Both women like longer fights, so it wouldn't be shockin g if this meeting goes this distance. Having said that, momentum is clearly on Pudilova's side as she makes her UFC return while Wu's time in the company will continue to slip away unless she has a miraculous turnaround.
I'll take Pudilova winning by decision at +110 here.
