Jauregui vs Gomes Prediction
Yazmin Jauregui has made a name for herself, starting her MMA career with a 10-0 record. She showed promise in her first two UFC fights, picking up a unanimous decision win over Iasmin Lucindo at UFC on ESPN 41 before knocking out Istela Nunes four months later.
Meanwhile, Denis Gomes has had mixed results to begin her UFC run. She's gone the distance twice in three fights thus far, winning once and losing the other time. However, she has a decent amount of momentum on her side after most recently knocking Bruna Brasil out just under three months ago.
Jauregui is a tough competitor who's yet to taste defeat at the UFC level, whereas Gomes has. Furthermore, Gomes h as been out-hit by an average of 34 strikes in her last two outings, which likely doesn't put her in a good spot against Jauregui, who lands 6.35 significant strikes per minute with 41% accuracy.
Expect Jauregui's undefeated run to continue at T-Mobile Arena.
Jauregui vs Gomes Best Bet
While I see Jazmin Jauregui winning, I see it more likely that she wins by points. Gomes is a tough competitor who can use her grappling skills to drag out a fight. The underdog has also only been finished once in her career, which occurred nearly six years ago.
Jauregui will get some solid shots in, but will likely need to go the distance to get the job done.
