Betting on Vieira vs Tate
Ketlen Vieira is coming off a shock loss to Yana Kunitskaya. Vieira was a solid -300 betting underdog to defeat Yana, but lost by decision. Now Vieira returns as a slight underdog against former bantamweight champion Miesha Tate.
I expect Vieira to encourage Tate to strike with her first. With Vieira having the slight advantage on the feet. Just like when Vieira fought Sijara Eubanks, she landed 93 significant strikes and this isn’t the type of war Tate will want to be on the feet for.
Tate will look to clinch and get some wrist control and make this fight close and dirty. Tate has immense MMA experience and has seen many different looks and styles, which will benefit her against a tough opponent like Vieira.
The wresting and judo will play a big part in this fight. Look for the betting props on Vieira or Tate by submission. Whoever get’s top control will win the majority of the the rounds. I give the advantage to Tate here who can grind and land more damage to Vieira on the ground than on the feet.
Betting Pick: Miesha Tate by Decision.
