Carli Judice v Nicolle Caliari Betting Tips & Fight Predictions

Carli Judice vs. Nicole Callari is the fight that will start the action in New Orleans on July 19. And this is exactly the kind of curtain-raiser that UFC fans love! The thing is that both Judice and Callari are real killers inside the cage, each with a 100% finish rate. Carli is 4-2 overall, with all four wins being knockouts. She's looking for another one, and for that, she'll have her home crowd to support her. She's a Louisiana native who's coming to the state's biggest city with her head held high after a statement KO win last March that snapped a two-fight skid. The two fights before that both happened by a split decision. In one of those (against Ernesta Karackaite), Carli got outwrestled. In the other one (against Gabriella Fernandes), she lost (VERY CONTROVERSIALLY) despite landing 50 significant strikes more than her opponent. She'll out-strike Nicole Callari as well, I'm almost 100% sure of that. She also doesn't have to worry much about getting submitted either. Sure, the Brazilian is a fine grappler, whose best performance of her entire career happened in DWCS last year when she submitted her opponent in R1. However, Carli has an advantage in both reach and height, as well as the kickboxing skills needed to keep Callari far away. The best way to ensure that her UFC 318 opponent doesn't get a chance to submit her is to knock her out early. I think that's likely to happen. If not, Carli will destroy Nicole with body kicks, which should be enough for the judges. Either way, Carli Judice looks like a very, very good pick.
