Mueller said this to uk.ufc.com about her upcoming fight against Yanan, “My opponent I believe is more of a striker, but I don’t think she realizes what a good striker I am. Like I said I don’t show all my different tools so everyone hasn’t seen my ground game. So I’m expecting to take her down pretty fast and get a quick finish.”

UFC Predictions
Wu wasn’t that good in her UFC debut last year in Shanghai as she got outwrestled by Gina Mazany. Wu drops to flyweight to try and take out Mueller who has proven to be a good striker. Mueller won her UFC debut against Shana Dobson and is undefeated in her career. Mueller is a very good fighter who should be able to control Wu throughout this bout. I rarely like to lay big prices and 4-1 is a bit much for me, although Mueller should get the win. I will focus on the rounds, as the fight may end up going to a decision and that means the rounds will go over the total.
