Alexas Grasso comes into this fight with an 11-3 record but since coming into the UFC she only has a 3-3 record. In Grasso’s last game against Carla Esparza it was a fierce battle but she was taken down four times and that seemed to be the difference as she lost by unanimous decision. Grasso comes into this fight averaging 5.25 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 3.61 significant strikes per minute. Grasso is also averaging 0.19 successful takedowns every 15 minutes but she is only successful on 33 percent of the attempts. Grasso also stops 63 percent of her opponents' takedown attempts. Grasso is also averaging 0.6 submission attempts every 15 minutes. 

Kim finished her last fight, but I don’t think she has enough power in her hands to tag Grasso and finish her. Look for Grasso, who is the better fighter to find success early in this one and come away with the victory.. Take Grasso to win by finish. If you are comfortable taking Grasso on the money line that play is fine, but that's a big number to lay.
