The read
Mesquita's submission rate and grappling pedigree make her a live threat to finish this if the fight hits the mat, and her unbeaten UFC start backs that up.
Chiasson's own length and experience against higher-level UFC competition give her a route to winning rounds at range if she can avoid the scrambles.
A tight litmus test for Chiasson's ability to halt her skid.
The matchup
Chiasson, ranked No. 7, is looking to snap a three-fight skid against a Brazilian jiu-jitsu legend in Mesquita, the division's No. 10-ranked contender, who has carried her decorated grappling resume into a perfect UFC start.
Chiasson's size and veteran striking give her a path if she can keep the fight away from Mesquita's world-class ground game.
