I've picked Alice in her lats 2 fights and have been dead wrong. While I do think she got screwed in her UFC debut, I haven't seen any real improvements. She is tough as hell and a gamer, but the technique just isn't there. I imagine this is a full 15 minute decision, but I do think Rayanne will be the better striker and should have no problem keeping her back off the cage. Even if she can't, this is in Vegas and Vegas hates wrestling. Rayanne is the pick and I don't even think a +3.5 for Alice is worth it.
Rayanne dos Santos
Rayanne Amanda, also known as Rayanne dos Santos is an aggressive grappler who has fluid and busy striking. She is incredibly light on her feet with constant movement and activity. She doesn't get overly aggressive with her wrestling but when she does get it to the ground she has a great balance of ground and pound as well as positions and submissions. She will keep pressure, stay busy and look for a submission. Her takedown defense is solid as well with nice sprawls that she turns into a takedown of her own. She is coming off the questionable loss to Puja Tomar where although she didn't wrestle, she did march forward and stay busy striking.
Alice Ardelean
Alice Ardelean was signed by the UFC because of her giant social media presence. But despite being winless in the Octagon, she is still here and thats because she moves forward and fights. She's a busy striker who will mix in a bunch of different techniques. She can be sloppy at times but she's so busy and such a gamer that she has success. She is not afraid of a dog fight and will absolutely chase finishes. While she does have 7 losses, a few of those are quality to Weili Zhang and Diana Belbita. She is coming off the decision loss to Melissa Martinez where we saw the pressure and toughness but she was also saved by a referee mistake in the 3rd.
