Liang Na-J.J. Aldrich Pick and Prediction
Liang Na-J.J. Aldrich Odds
Liang Na: +425 | J.J. Aldrich: -600
Na has a 19-6 professional record, earning seven knockouts and nine submissions. She comes from a wrestling background, evidenced by her 5.74 takedowns per bout. She has never been taken down, with opponents generally choosing to strike against her. Na only lands 2.94 significant strikes while absorbing 4.09. Even more problematic, she only defends strikes at 27% and has been knocked out in each of her two UFC fights. This will also be her first fight in the UFC at flyweight after previously competing at strawweight.
Aldrich comes from a taekwondo background. She has an 11-6 professional record but only has two wins by knockout. Among her losses, she has been knocked out once and submitted twice. With that said, she has fought significantly more difficult competition. In the Octagon, she lands 3.98 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 4.74. On the mat, she lands 0.82 takedowns per bout and defends them at 70%.
All in all, Na likely is not a UFC-caliber fighter at this point. Even with a wrestling edge, she should be overmatched on the feet, and her durability concerns make Na a fade even at this price. For those weary of Aldrich’s odds, look to the prop market later in the week.
