Andrade is the betting favorite here, should be to win this one unless she has some hangover from the loss to Blanchfield. She lands 6.84 of her significant strikes per minute for 51 percent of them. Andrade also lands 54 percent of her takedown attempts. Yan is a strong defensive fighter, however, so Andrade will need to stretch this one out unless she can find a weak point to exploit.

One advantage Andrade has is that she defends against takedowns at an elite 73 percent clip, and Yan only lands 0.87 percent of them. She also lands 44 percent of them, which is less than Andrade.
