UFC Paris: Delphine Benouaich vs. Sofia Montenegro: Prediction
With the slight edge of Montenegro in height and reach, I predict a decision win for her over Benouaich. I expect Montenegro to maximize this advantage in length to keep Benouaich at bay, while landing her punches and kicks at a comfortable range.
It’s going to be a stand-up affair for most of the match, but I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them initiates a clinch or grappling battle. The first fighter to get gassed out will likely be the first to shoot for a takedown.
