Justine Kish is about a 3-1 favorite to defeat Ji Yeon Kim in UFC on FOX 27 on Saturday night.

Kish is 6-1 in her career, but she’s coming off a loss to Felice Herrig in June of this past year, although Kim is 6-1-2 and coming off a loss to Lucie Pudilova. This fight is just one of six on the FS1 section of the first card card, contributing up to a four-fight principal card that contains Ronaldo Souza vs. Derek Brunson. Let us look at Kish vs. Kim and UFC picks.

Justine Kish (6-1, 2-1 UFC)
Kish won her first four pro fights before she made her UFC debut in January of 2016. Kish won a unanimous decision against Nina Ansaroff and Kish followed up with a win over Ashley Yoder at December of 2016. The first loss for Kish in her career happened in June of last year, as she dropped a unanimous choice to Felice Herrig.
Kish will possess the home audience edge on Saturday, as she struggles in Charlotte. “It will make me somewhat nervous to know so many people from here will be coming into the fight,” said Kish to the Gaston Gazette,”However, to be honest, it could be just one person out there or a million people and I’m thinking the identical thing. I want to wear a fantastic show every time.” Kish will be fighting in Charlotte for the second time in her career, as she battled Grady Cole as a recreational in 2007.
Kish said that she’s been training with longtime coach Jeff Jimmo, to prepare for this struggle against Kim. “I typically don’t watch a lot of footage of my opponents,” said Kish,”But I’ve watched a lot of footage . We have studied it multiple times and I believe I’ll have a great strategy.”
Ji Yeo Kim (6-1-2, 0-1 UFC)
Kish was a pro since 2013. She struggled to 2 draws in her first two pro fights and she is 6-1 since. She has three wins by entry and two by knockout. She’s one first round end.
UFC Picks
The line on this battle is surprisingly high with Kish about a 3-1 favorite. I really do think the move up in fat can help Kish, as she looked weak against Herrig and it is always pleasant to have the house audience edge. Kim landed some shots from Pudilova in her UFC debut, but still lost a unanimous choice. I lean toward Kish in this struggle, but I think it will be a competitive struggle and I am certainly not familiar laying 3-1 at a struggle I believe will be close. I believe playing with the rounds is the better thing to do. The rounds choice is recorded at 2.5 with the more recorded at -260. Neither one of these two fighters have much power, and I can’t see either one obtaining an end unless one of these makes a significant error and gets trapped in a grip. I will take the rounds to go over the total.
