Reed vs Frey Prediction

Elise Reed has alternated wins and losses over her last four UFC bouts, most recently suffering a submission loss to Loma Lookboonmee at UFC 284 in February. Meanwhile, Frey enters Saturday on the heel of back-to-back losses to Vanessa Demopoulos (split decision) and Polyana Viana (KO/TKO).

Only one fighter can secure a bounce-back victory here, and the edge goes to Reed. Reed is a fighter that relies on versatility and mobility to force her opponent into making a mistake. That will make a noticeable difference, as will Frey's inability to capitalize on Reed's weaknesses.

Reed is a fighter that can be beaten on the ground, but Frey's takedown accuracy mark sits at a dismal 33%. An upright fight does not do Frey any favors considering her strike accuracy rate (44%) also trails Reed (52%). Trust the slight favorite to take care of business in Vegas.

Winner: Elise Reed

Reed vs Frey Best Bet

The moneyline is the only betting option at the moment, so backing a Reed victory at -136 odds is the way to go. All of the American fighter's losses have come within the distance, while all of her victories have come via decision. That is worth noting, as four of Frey's six UFC fights have ended in a decision. Reed has proven she has both the endurance and striking skills to make an impression.

Bet: Elise Reed ML (-136)
