Jaqueline Amorim

⚡67%

This strawweight bout pits Loma Lookboonmee's striking and Muay Thai background against Jaqueline Amorim's formidable grappling and submission prowess. Lookboonmee, with a professional record of 10-4-0, has shown resilience and a solid striking game, but her recent loss to Alexia Thainara highlighted a vulnerability to takedowns and ground control, where she spent a significant portion of the fight on her back. Amorim, holding a 10-2-0 record, is a submission specialist with eight of her ten wins coming by way of submission, often in the first round. Her recent victories over Polyana Viana, Vanessa Demopoulos, and Cory McKenna all came via submission. While Amorim did suffer a decision loss to Mizuki in her last outing, her ability to quickly secure submissions against other opponents is a major factor. Lookboonmee's takedown defense has been inconsistent, and against a high-level grappler like Amorim, this could be her undoing. Amorim will likely look to close the distance, secure a takedown, and work towards a submission. Given Amorim's finishing rate and Lookboonmee's recent struggles with grappling, Amorim is favored to find a submission, likely in the second round after an initial feeling-out process or a scramble.

💰 Sharp Money

Sharp money will likely come in on Jaqueline Amorim if her odds are undervalued, given her clear path to victory via submission. Conversely, if Lookboonmee is a significant underdog, some sharp money might be placed on her for a striking-based upset. Line movement: Without initial odds, it's speculative. However, if Lookboonmee opens as a favorite, expect line movement towards Amorim as bettors recognize the grappling mismatch.
