Expert analysis from someone on the AWC roster

This is gonna be an interesting one and of the first round matches, most likely for an upset.
I have Raine ranked 12th and Tisha 17th...
12 - Raine 2-1 (W: Belinda, Monique L: Rebecca)
...
17 - Tisha 2-3 (W: Melinda, Wendy L: Bailey, Sierra, Suzette)
Raine has a win over a ranked fighter (Belinda) and a not so impressive loss to Rebecca, a top tier fighter. Tisha's wins, while dominant, were over jobbers. She was competitive in all 3 loses and all 3 were ranked top 10.
Tisha is a tough little girl, and I speak from experience! She gave me my toughest match so far and in my assessment she's under rated and has maybe the strongest legs in AWC. I made it a point to avoid them, which I did in our match, but she was able to get planted and roll and pivot me a couple times. She always fights with heart and never gets dominated and has always been competitive against bigger and stronger girls. I had to choke her out to end our match!
Raine from what Ive seen is more of a controlled brawler. She's like Bailey but without the all around skill. She's managed to beat up her opponents in her wins, but was exposed a bit against someone who can fight with her, but also wrestle a bit in Rebecca.
Style-wise, this is not a good match up for Raine. Tisha is average-to-good in all 3 phases: cat fighting, wrestling, and striking. Size advantage is clearly Raine's and she's going to have to use that to control Tisha; stay on top of and behind her and just beat her down. Neither girl has the best upper body but between the two, Tisha has shown she's way more advanced in using her lower body.
Tisha is going to have to fight like a flea and make her chase and get under and on Raine. While grappling, just hang on her and let Raine carry her weight until she gets a chance for a scissor or a smother. Raine is smart though and not wild, so that opportunity may not come often.
As it stands now, it has and Tisha took advantage. Raine's priority right now is getting out of this before Tisha does enough damage to eliminate the size advantage.
Im going to predict the upset here and go with the little bubble butt

Possessed of not only a weight and height advantage, Raine appears more active, athletic, and, in working for a tech company, may be more tactical and calculating. Regardless, with that attire, she definitely has more style and pizazz. As for Tisha's desperation, that might lead to ill-placed confidence or the making of foolish mistakes.
This is really good...disagree on the attire assessment, but that aside, all valid. Hope you participate more on the AWC threads
