Fight result (2-way line or money line)
Vieira steps into the octagon two inches taller than her counterpart, while holding a 0.61 to 0.25 submission average advantage over Kunitskaya.
Kunitskaya has won three of her past four fights since a Round 1 KO/TKO title shot loss against Cris Cyborg March 2, 2018 at UFC 222. All three wins have been by unanimous decision, including last time out against Julija Stoliarenko Aug. 8, 2020.
Vieira picked up a solid unanimous-decision victory over Sijara Eubanks at UFC 253 last time out, and has won five of her six fights at the UFC level. Her only loss was a knockout against Irene Aldana in Round 1 at UFC 245. The play here is VIEIRA ON POINTS (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)
Over 2.5 Rounds (-350) is a little on the expensive side. YES (-250): “WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE?” is a little on the steep side, too, but that’s the better way to go. Vieira has finished inside the distance just twice in the past seven pro bouts, while Kunitskaya has gone the distance in three of the past four. That’s the slam-dunk play in this bout.
