The upcoming UFC 283 tournament in Brazil will see Brazilian Josiane Nunes and French Zarah Fairn Dos Santos meet in the lightweight division on January 22. The Frenchwoman is on the verge of being dismissed as she has suffered two consecutive defeats. Her future rival, on the other hand, has won two bouts and intends to extend her successful streak. Who will take the upper hand in this clash? The fight is planned for 04:00 UK time.
The Brazilian should be preferred here in many ways. She may be outclassed in size, but that has never stopped Nunes from knocking everyone out. On top of that, the Brazilian will be playing at home, and she’s also seven years younger. We think that Josiane will be aiming for an excellent early victory.
Brazilian Josiane Nunes has a record of nine wins and one defeat. Her only misfire came in 2013 when she lost to the notorious Brazilian Taila Santos, who not long ago gave a tough fight to Kyrgyz Valentina ‘’Bullet’’ Shevchenko herself. Under the UFC banner, ‘’Josi’’ managed to get two solid wins. She knocked out Swedish Bea ‘’Bad News Barbie’ Malecki brutally in the opening round and then outclassed Chinese Ramona Pascual by the unanimous decision of the judges.
Nunes’ base is Thai boxing. She has sprawling and heavy submissions with both hands, and she also frequently inserts elbows and knees in the clinch. Seven times in her career she has won by knockout.
France’s Zarah Fairn is now 36 years old. She has had two unsuccessful performances in the world’s top league and has a total of six wins and four defeats in the professionals’ set. ‘’Infinite’’ lost in the UFC to Australian Megan Anderson and Canadian Felicia ‘’Feenom’’ Spencer – both girls claimed the title but lost to Amanda ‘’The Lioness’’ Nunes.
The young lady also gravitates towards stand-up work and boasts enviable knockout power. However, she has two early first-round defeats in the UFC, so she has not had time to show anything significant.
