Andrade vs Murphy Prediction
After suffering a TKO loss to Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 261, Jessica Andrade has turned things around. "Bate Estaca" has racked up back-to-back first-round wins over Cynthia Calvillo and Amanda Lemos, beating them by TKO and submission, respectively. Now, Andrade has the opportunity to build on that momentum in her home country.
Meanwhile, Lauren Murphy bounced back from her own TKO loss to Shevchenko with a unanimous decision win over Miesha Tate. While winning is nice, it's worth pointing out that Tate is a shell of her former self and Murphy still hasn't beaten anyone on Andrade's level.
With her also having the superior striking and takedown skills, Andrade will give her home country something to cheer about on Saturday.
Andrade vs Murphy Best Bet
There isn't any value in taking Andrade outright, which is why I have my eyes on the methods of victory. Knocking opponents out isn't anything new to her with four of her last five victories coming by KO/TKO.
While Murphy has only been knocked out once in her career, the incident occurred less than two years ago. She also absorbs 4.45 significant strikes per minute, which will likely be an issue against Andrade, who gives out 6.16 per minute with 50% accuracy.
Whether it's in the first round or the last one, I'm confident that Andrade knocks Murphy out.
