Molly McCann-Julija Stoliarenko Pick, Prediction and Odds
Molly McCann-Julija Stoliarenko Odds
Molly McCann: -250 | Julija Stoliarenko: +190
Starting with the favorite, McCann comes primarily from a boxing background. She lands 5.72 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 4.90. With that said, she does have some ground skills. McCann averages 1.67 takedowns per bout and 44% takedown defense. Oftentimes, that takedown defense works against McCann and can cause her to lose rounds. Of her 13 wins, McCann has six knockouts and seven decision wins.
On the other side, Stoliarenko is not UFC-level talent. She is 1-5 in the promotion, and her only win came against Jessica Rose-Clark. Stoliarenko’s most recent knockout loss to Chandler has aged poorly, and she likely will get cut after one more loss. She lands 2.75 significant strikes while absorbing 4.61, plus her 44% striking defense is woeful. On the mat, she only lands 0.70 takedowns per bout while defending them at 62%.
With Stoliarenko unlikely to get this fight to the ground, McCann should piece up this punching bag on her way to victory. The juice of -250 is a lot to lay, so McCann by knockout or decision could be in play later this week
