Talita Alencar vs Julia Polastri Prediction

FIGHT WINNER

Talita Alencar

⚡78%

This fight presents a classic striker vs. grappler matchup. Talita Alencar, a highly decorated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, boasts a strong grappling pedigree with 4 of her 7 wins coming by submission. Her recent victory in November 2025 via rear-naked choke demonstrates her continued effectiveness on the ground. While her striking volume is lower (2.91 SLpM), her takedown average (3.02 per 15 minutes) and submission average (0.6 per 15 minutes) are notable. Julia Polastri, on the other hand, is a volume striker with a higher significant strikes landed per minute (6.40 SLpM) and a history of TKO victories. However, Polastri has shown vulnerabilities to grappling, particularly in her March 2025 loss where she was taken down multiple times and controlled on her back for a significant portion of the fight. Alencar's path to victory will heavily rely on securing takedowns and working towards a submission. Polastri's defense against takedowns (60%) is decent, but Alencar's relentless pursuit of the grappling exchanges and her high-level jiu-jitsu should eventually allow her to get the fight to the mat. As the fight progresses, Polastri's striking volume might wane if she's constantly defending takedowns, opening up opportunities for Alencar to capitalize. Given Alencar's recent submission win in the third round, and Polastri's historical struggles against strong grapplers, a late-round submission for Alencar seems plausible after wearing Polastri down.
