As the fighter who has experience fighting inside the octagon, Kareckaite heads into the bout as the betting favorite with -180 UFC odds. Tarin, who’s set to make her octagon debut on late notice, is +150.

UFC Mexico: Regina Tarin vs. Ernesta Kareckaite: Prediction
My prediction is a decision victory for Kareckaite over Tarin because she’s the taller, longer fighter, which will be key in most striking exchanges. She can throw her punches and kicks at a comfortable distance while avoiding a firefight.
The only knack on Kareckaite is that she tends to close the distance and push her opponents against the fence, even though she has the physical advantages. Additionally, she has competed inside the octagon, with two bouts under the Las Vegas-based promotion.
