Livia Souza vs Ashley Yoder Tips & Fight Predictions

Livia Souza-Ashley Yoder

Fulltime

also proved that she can compete in the UFC, which is quite important when predicting her to get the win. Ashley Yoder is a good fighter, but she lacks the consistency to make her a match for ‘The Brazilian Gangster’. Yoder has amassed two wins in six UFC bouts, leaving her with a record of 2-4 in the world’s biggest MMA organization. That tells me that she is inconsistent or just not good enough for the big leagues. Join me in having a closer look at this fight.

Livinha Souza vs Ashley Yoder Fight Predictions

It’s prediction time! I see this fight going Souza’s way. Yoder is a good competitor but her record in the UFC worries me. In six fights, she has managed to get two decision wins, one being a split decision.

Souza, on the other hand, has been much more consistent throughout her pro career, only losing a close split-decision to Angela Hill and a unanimous decision to young strawweight prospect Brianna Van Buren. Souza is still evolving as a mixed martial artist, and I see her running through Ashley Yoder without too much resistance this Saturday.

Prediction: Livinha Souza via unanimous decision.
