Young women’s flyweight contenders Sofia Montenegro and Ernesta Kareckaite are set to throw it down on Saturday as part of the UFC Mexico card at Arena CDMX.
As the fighter who has experience fighting inside the octagon, Kareckaite heads into the bout as the betting favorite with -300 UFC odds. Montenegro, who lost his previous fight at Dana White’s Contender Series, is going to be the +240 betting underdog.

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