UFC Macau: Loma Lookboonmee vs. Jaqueline Amorim: Prediction
My prediction is a decision win for Amorim since she’s the better grappler and her fighting style fits perfectly against Lookboonmee. In this classic battle of a striker and a grappler, the grappler will have an advantage.
Amorim’s solid BJJ background will effectively counter the Muay Thai striking base of Lookboonmee. Furthermore, Amorim’s seven-inch reach and three-inch leg reach advantage will be crucial in keeping Lookboonmee at a safe distance.
Aside from keeping Lookboonmee at bay, Amorim will also be able to telegraph her attacks and anticipate them. This will allow her to come up with a swift counter or time a perfect level change to take the match down the mat.
