Keep it a Buck Media picks Melissa Martinez VALUE
“I'm going to take the underdog here I'm going to take at least aene Melissa Martinez is coming off a two-year layoff and I just don't know what she's gonna look like and she lost her UFC debut um in her last fight that she was in two years ago uh yeah she's she's quick on the feet she's has some good kicks but I think Elise Reed in the way she kind of when she weighed in today she looked really really good uh she's taking that you know her conditioning better she's she's like trimming off the fat um at least looks looks really good and I think what gives me a bit more hope in the lease is that she's going just to press forward bring the pressure and kind of take away that distance that Melissa Martinez likes to uh you know strike with um I think at least is going going to have Melissa Martinez Against the Cage I think she's kind of kind of wear on Melissa Martinez here and um and I just don't know what Melissa Martinez cardio gonna look like after two years so give me the underdog here give me Underdog number one give me Elise Reed ardene.”

“Alice Ardelean 7,800 another fighter with a path here money's actually came in on ardene in terms of the money lines closed up quite a bit um going against Melissa Martinez who's a very good Striker but the ground game is is certainly in question we actually saw Elise Reed take down Melissa Martinez multiple times in their fight and if Elise Reed's taking it down at least AR ellene probably is able to as well with that said that we haven't seen Martinez in a couple years so maybe she's made some improvements but uh if not like ellene has a path and not only win here but you know get takedowns get control time and put up a decent score at 7,800”

MMA Lock of the Night picks Alice Ardelean VALUE
“I think Alice Ardelean is not a bad Underdog in this second fight as I believe she should be able to Wrangle Martinez drag her to the ground and keep her in uncomfortable positions as long as she showcases a little bit more of an assertive approach like she did in the first and second round of the last matchup she should be able to get the win here and win this fight on the scorecards”
