Manuela Marconetto Betting Preview

Marconetto is stepping into battle as a replacement for a previous fighter. She is currently on a two-fight skid and needs to break her cycle. Her recent defeat was a unanimous decision against Alice Pisciotta back at Slam Fighting Championship 15 in July earlier this year.

Her resume shows that she has a knack for lasting an entire bout. She has compiled all four of her wins by decision. In addition, all four of her defeats have been by decision.

“The Butcher’s Daughter” has a mix of solid encounters throughout her career, as she has moved around to different fighting organizations. She had a failed attempt in Bellator, which was one of her tougher matchups. This could be another scenario, unfortunately.

She has a few regional rankings despite having some issues lately. She is currently ranked as the 11^th best pound for pound female fighter in France and the 18^th best pound for pound in Western Europe.

Valentina Scatizzi Betting Preview

Scatizzi is coming off of a split decision victory over Lizzy Gevers back at PFL Europe 1 in March of this year. This got her back on track after a first round rear-naked choke submission against Samantha Jean-Francois in the fight prior.

She has one win by knockout and decision. Her knockout victory also happened to be a first round finish and she only has one defeat so far.

She will be engaging in her second PFL event with the upcoming matchup. She does not have a lot of experience to show that she can handle an opponent with this much experience, as her only loss was to a 4-6 opponent.

She is currently ranked as the 14^th best pound for pound women’s fighter in Italy and the 51^st for Western Europe. This will be another big test for her career, but she has a great opportunity to catch a struggling fighter in the octagon.
