Chookagian vs Calvillo Betting Preview
Chookagian is currently the No. 2 contender in the flyweight division and is fresh off a first-round knockout loss to Jessica Andrade in October. Prior to that bout, she had gone 3-1 in her previous four fights with unanimous decision victories over Antonina Shevchenko, Jennifer Maia, and Joanne Calderwood, with a title fight loss to Valentina Shevchenko.
Chookagian isn't the most exciting fighter, but she's a rangy, high-volume striker with excellent cardio, and tends to pick up her wins via points.
Cynthia Calvillo enters this fight as the No. 4 flyweight contender and is coming off a decision win over Jessica Eye in June. The 33-year-old is 9-1-1 in her MMA career with her lone defeat coming via decision to Carla Esparza in 2017.
Calvillo is a well-rounded fighter that combines polished striking with effective-ground-and-pound and submissions.

Chookagian vs Calvillo UFC Prediction and Betting Pick
PREDICTION: Chookagian to win +184 - Although Calvillo is the favorite for this fight, she doesn't match up that well against Chookagian, who has high-volume striking, a four-inch reach advantage, and excellent cardio.
While Chookagian was finished by Andrade and Shevchenko in recent fights, Calvillo doesn't have the power of those two, so she won't pose much of a threat to Chookagian standing up.
Calvillo needs to get this fight to the mat if she wants to win, but Chookagian showed improvement in her ground game against Antonina Shevchenko and has the strength to fight her off when grappling.
If Calvillo can't get the finish, she won't have an easy time winning on points against a fighter like Chookagian.
