Luana CarolinavsMelissa Mullins

Before that rough night, her finish of Julija Stoliarenko in February 2024 was wild, she just kept pouring it on from side control until the ref had to step in. The Brazilian brings serious volume and cardio when she's on. Here's the thing, both these women are orthodox strikers who aren't afraid to get after it. Mullins has shown she can mix in takedowns when she needs them, hitting 50% against Zhelezniakova with over two minutes of control time. Carolina doesn't shoot much but her striking output is crazy high.

She threw 230 strikes against Stoliarenko and 222 against Joanne Wood. That pace could be a problem if Mullins can't slow her down. The English fighter needs to make this scrappy and find a way to get Carolina's back like she did against Sygula. Carolina's looking to bounce back from that Montague loss while Mullins has that Lions Gym toughness and finishing ability when opportunities show up. This one's got fireworks written all over it.
