Shane’s Free Pick

Barber’s nickname is the future, but it’s clear that is now as she has won four fights in a row. Even though she has won four fights in a row. I do have some concerns about her heading into this game. She struggled with the takedown in the last fight, and she’s going to struggle with that again here. Ribas is going to find some success on the ground. Ribas might not get the finish, but she’s going to get the job done. Back Ribas to win by finish.
