UFC Fight Night 215: Jennifer Maia vs. Maryna Moroz Betting Odds and Prediction - November 19

UFC 272: Moroz v Agapova
UFC 272: Moroz v Agapova, Moroz before the fight

Jennifer Maia will be looking to return to winning ways when she clashes with Maryna Moroz tonight. Brazilian contender Maia is coming in off two straight defeats against Katlyn Chookagian and Manon Fiorot, respectively. It’s fair to say she’s fallen a fair bit from her days as a challenger to Valentina Shevchenko’s flyweight throne.

Moroz, meanwhile, is on a three-fight winning streak with her UFC 272 submission victory over Mariya Agapova standing out as especially impressive. Currently ranked No.15, the No.8-ranked Maia is the biggest challenge of Moroz’s career to date. A win here could see her leap up the rankings whereas a loss will likely move her out of the top 15.

For Maia, another loss here will likely lead to questions concerning her durability and future as a UFC fighter.

Jennifer Maia vs. Maryna Moroz Tale of the Tape:

Moroz will enjoy significant height and reach advantages over her foe tonight. She's also on better form at the moment and has sustained less damage and suffered less defeats in the octagon.

Maia, meanwhile, is on a challenging skid at the moment and has often struggled with longer, rangier strikers than herself. Couple that with Moroz's eclectic, often unpredictable style and Maia will have to fight smart and defensively tonight if she is to finally break her skid and work on getting back up in the rankings.

Maia vs. Moroz Betting Prediction

This is the biggest fight yet of Maryna Moroz's UFC career and one that could help her near, or even break into, the top 10 of the UFC women's flyweight division. Her past three victories have highlighted her cardio, volume striking and grappling prowess, and she appears to be in the finest form of her career thus far.

Jennifer Maia finds herself in a very different position, on a slump that has left her falling down the rankings she once made it to No.1 on. Given her history of difficulty with larger opponents, coupled with Moroz's often unpredictable attacking change-ups, this could be a long, rough night for Maia.

Prediction: Maryna Moroz via unanimous decision
