Judice vs Calliari Pick

Carli Judice is a lengthy and dynamic striker with a significant size advantage over Nicolle Caliari (4″ taller, 6″ reach advantage), who prefers to grapple, making this a relatively binary fight in the women’s Flyweight division.

Moreover, Judice is coming off a spectacular first-round finish of Yuneisy Duben – extending her 100% first-round finish rate to four pro victories, and I’d anticipate that some bettors are targeting “Crispy” Carli to maintain that streak at plus money, whether in Round 1 or inside the distance.

Still, three-round women’s flyweight bouts go to decision at a 68% clip (-212 implied) on average, and both Judice and Caliari have shown the ability to compete well enough in both striking and grappling against their one common opponent (Ernesta Kareckaite) to fight to split decisions.

I projected this fight to go to decision at a higher rate than the women’s flyweight average, closer to 75% of the time (-285 implied), and would bet the distance or decision prop to -250.

Alternatively, or in addition, I projected Judice’s decision prop at -155, and would bet that up to -135.
