She was knocked out by Jessica Andrade in her second-to-last fight, but bounced back for a good win via decision against Antonina Schevchenko. Looking at her previous victories over some elite opponents, there is no question as to why she's been why. Katlyn Chookagian is a perennially ranked #1 or #2, in a division dominated by Valentina Schevchenko, for almost her entire time in the UFC.

The odds this fight does not go the distance are currently +125 at the time of writing, and considering their past fights and the plus money odds I will be taking this prop. It is more than likely this ends in an insane knockout, potentially a fight of the night candidate. In their combined fighting history, only 35% of Barboza and Burgos' fights have gone the distance. There is a prop I love in this matchup, and the stats back it up: the fight to NOT go the distance. This shouldn't be hard for Burgos as he trains at Tiger Schulman's, and the karate fighters there have developed great kicking techniques that allow them to control distance in their fights. The key to victory for him here is to walk down Edson Barboza, and put him on his back foot where he will struggle to throw any fight ending punches or kicks. His chin will play a part in this fight against Barboza, who is an extremely proficient kickboxer. In his last few fights he's been hit with big stunning shots that would've put many men to sleep, and Burgos instead laughed them off, and came back a massive strike of his own. The biggest factor on Burgos' side is the strength of his chin. Shane Burgos has a lot more going for him in this fight than Barboza, in my opinion. Barboza has lost 4 of his last 5, whereas Burgos is 4-3 over his last 7 fights.

Edson Barboza is getting up there in age, currently 35 as opposed to Burgos, who is still only 30. There are some tough fights to pick on this card.
