UFC Fight Night 205: Barber vs. De La Rosa Predictions, Game Analysis and Odds (Saturday, April 23rd, 2022)

These are young female fighters that have a long career ahead of them and they will be clashing at an early age. The very youthful Maycee Barber will be taking on Montana de la Rosa who is just enjoying her prime in UFC Fight Night 205. The UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada will be their rendezvous point as the match will be shown through Pay Per View and UFC Fight Pass. According to the online sportsbook, the younger Maycee Barber will be giving Montana De La Rosa another loss.

Maycee Barber

The 23-year-old Maycee Barber will look to live up to her ring name as “The Future” of the MMA industry. But her rise to the top of the women’s flyweight division has been halted after losing back-to-back matches against Roxanne Modaferrie and Alexa Grasso. Barber came into her next match with Miranda Maverick with some improvement but did not really earn a convincing victory through a split decision. Five of her career wins came from knockouts and also submitted two opponents. She looks to capitalize on the momentum and will look to use her power to take out her opponent.

Montana De La Rosa

Montana De La Rosa had a tough road since losing to Andrea Lee back in June 2019. She earned wins over Mara Romero Borella and Ariane Lipski but also experienced a loss against Vivian Araujo. She also had a match against Mayra Bueno Silva in UFC Fight Night 186 and that bout ended in a majority draw. Coming from a win against Lipski, De la Rosa looks to keep her winning ways and she will look to take the match to the ground. 8 of one dozen victories came from submissions and she seldom goes to the judges’ scorecards to earn the win. Not finishing the fight would be risky for her as she lost four of the seven matches decided by the judges.
