Jessica Andreade vs Loopy Godinez Expert Betting Tip

Lupita will bring out her boxing and try to outstrike Andrade. She should be able to defend takedowns and use pressure strategically to get the win, most likely a decision. I know Jessica Andrade has struggled against wrestling but we are talking about some of the very best wrestlers/grapplers in women's MMA and mostly at a division above Loopy Godinez at 125 (Erin Blanchfield, Jasmine Jasudavius, Tatiana Suarez, Valentina Shevchenko) and in some of those fights, Andrade was actually doing okay. I thought she won Round one vs. Blanchfield and after rewatching the Suarez fight she was actually doing alright, the stat sheet says she conceded 1/1 takedowns in R1 but she fought off at least 2 other attempts at a grappling sequence by Tatiana and was able to get up when she was taken down and put together a good end to the round. The trouble for Andrade lately has been getting finished on the mat, but fortunately for her, finishing bouts isn't her opponent Loopy Godinez's strong suit, with only three stoppage wins in 18 fights. Even so, I think a lot of Godinez; she has good boxing and wrestling, and every now and then she looks like a world beater, but she has struggled with consistency, and she has yet to win over one of the bigger names in women's MMA, and I believe she will be denied that again. Andrade has been the first big name on a few resumes, but I believe she can once again deny Godinez. Yeah, she may be taken down a few times, but as long as she doesn't hand her neck over on a silver platter, I believe she can string together some nasty offense when these two are standing, which should easily compensate for any control time Godinez accumulates as long as she doesn't do much damage or have an excessive amount of top control, which I don't believe she will. Godinez technically does have the skills to compete with Andrade in the striking, I just see the aggression and power of Andrade winning out (Godinez wasn't looking her best in her last fight when Polastri was getting very aggressive and throwing hammers). While Andrade is very difficult to stop with strikes and has been submitted 5 times in the UFC
