UFC Picks
Oddmakers have this fight as a toss-up. Zingano has been having problems fighting in the UFC lately considering she is on a three-fight losing streak. Reneau has more experience in the UFC and has only two losses. This really is a toss-up, so I will avoid a side and look at the total number of rounds. The combined first round finishes of Zingano and Reneau are only six, so there is a good chance this one goes to a decision. I will take the rounds to go over the total.
