UFC 184 Free Pick & Prediction: Ronda Rousey vs. Cat Zingano
By Drew Sharper
LOS ANGELES, CA (The Spread) – Two undefeated female fighters collide tonight in the main event of UFC 184. Will it be Ronda Rousey or Cat Zingano that stays unbeaten?
Rousey (10-0) is the UFC women’s bantamweight champion and she has yet to let a fight go the distance. Nine of her 10 fights have ended in the first round. Zingano (9-0) has only had one fight in her career go the distance. She has won her last six fights by TKO or submission. Both fighters can finish the fight at any moment, Zingano with her striking, and Rousey with her grappling and submission skills.
The latest odds according to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv have Rousey as the clear favorite, as she has odds of -750 to prevail, while Zingano is currently listed with odds of +475 to prevail. These two will meet in the main event of UFC 184 tonight. The event airs live on PPV at 10PM ET.
This fight should be the toughest of Rousey’s career. Zingano may be able to match her power and strength and Zingano packs the most punch of any opponent Rousey has had. If Zingano is able to get her hands or feet cleanly on Rousey, she will pull off the upset. However, Zingano is an aggressive fighter and tends to get into clinches with opponents. If that happens tonight, Rousey will be able to throw her with her judo tosses and put her in a very bad spot. Zingano has been on her back in her last two fights but has managed to survive. She likely won’t if she is on her back tonight.
