UFC Fight Night: Yazmin Jauregui vs Iasmin Lucindo Fight Breakdown and Prediction
This UFC Fight Night women’s strawweight matchup between Yazmin Jauregui and Iasmin Lucindo is a classic striker vs grappler fight. Yazmin likes to stand and strike with her opponents and we can expect an aggressive approach in her UFC debut as she would attempt to finish the fight with her destructive power.
On the other hand, Lucindo is a type of fighter who prefers to take her opponents down and control them on the ground. Just like Jauregui, Iasmin has great knockout power but the Medican strawweight has an upper hand when it comes to striking.
So the outcome of the fight would probably come down to whether Yazmin can defend Iasmin’s takedown attempts. So far in her MMA career, the 23-year-old fighter has shown great takedown defense. If she manages to hold her ground, then the fight would most likely go to a decision and we can expect Jaurequi to get her hands raised by the referee at UFC San Diego.
