Sijara Eubanks (6-6) vs Elise Reed (4-0)
Women’s Flyweight (125)
Sijara Eubanks
Dropping down to Flyweight after a mixed bag of performances at Bantamweight, Sijara Eubanks is back baby. While victories over Roxanne Modafferi and Julia Avila are solid, it is almost impossible to justify losing to Bethe Correia at this stage in her career. Despite the stupid Twitter rants and the ridiculous chance of a championship fight against Valentina Shevchenko, Eubanks has grown as a fighter. There have been clear steps to develop her entire game. Already a solid grappler, her boxing has improved considerably, with her jab proving a potent threat if it lands early.
Elise Reed
A replacement for Priscila Cachoeira, having been charged with domestic abuse against an ex-girlfriend. Christ. Terrible inside and outside the octagon. Regardless, Reed is an undefeated prospect in addition to holding the Cage Fury FC Strawweight Championship. Although a durable striker, she will be giving up almost two divisions worth of weight as Eubanks will enter a huge Flyweight on Saturday.
