Rodriguez vs Jandiroba Prediction
Marina Rodriguez enters UFC 288 looking to bounce back from a TKO loss to Amanda Lemos six months ago. Rodriguez had racked up four consecutive wins before that loss, though, defeating Amanda Ribas by TKO before winning three straight by points (two unanimously, one split).
Meanwhile, Virna Jandiroba has alternated between wins and losses in her last five fights. She did tally a unanimous decision win over former Invicta FC Strawweight Champion Angela Hill in her last fight at UFC Vegas 54, leaving time to tell if Jandiroba can capita lize on that momentum.
In a fight that should be close, I see Jandiroba pulling off the upset. Her grappling skills give her a clear advantage, averaging 2.31 takedowns and 1.1 submissions per 15 minutes. Rodriguez has been taken down at least once in each of her last seven fights, so I see her having some issues this weekend.
It'll come down to the wire, but a Jandiroba upset is a real possibility due to her grappling.
