Kunath recommended betting the Under on rounds in Kline–Martinez because he sees Kline ending things quickly no matter which finishing route opens. Martinez was rag-dolled for three takedowns by Elise Reed—a striker with mediocre wrestling—which signals a glaring grappling hole. At strawweight Kline is a true submission artist who effortlessly chains trips into back-takes, but she also unleashes brutal elbows when opponents turtle. Kunath worried that picking a specific method (sub or KO) could burn bettors, so he prefers the Under while still acknowledging Kline’s moneyline as the safe side given her size, technique, and Martinez’s obvious defensive grappling deficiencies.

MMA Guru said Fatima Kline will finish Melissa Martinez in the opening two rounds by submission. He highlighted Kline’s four-inch height and reach advantage (5'6" vs 5'2"), noted that she has handled larger opponents at flyweight, and referenced her first-round tap-out of Viktoriia Dudakova plus a competitive loss to Jasmine Jasudavicius as proof she belongs on the big stage. Guru views Martinez’s best win—a razor-close decision over Alice Ardelean—as underwhelming and expects her rangy "flicky" kicks to crumble once Kline muscles her to the mat. Because the moneyline is already a steep ‑1200, he framed Kline as a parlay anchor or inside-the-distance prop play rather than a straight bet.
