Millz Young sided with Ivana Petrovic as a two-to-one favorite over Juliana Miller. He reminded listeners that Petrovic out-landed Jamie Lynn Horth 67-52, logged two takedowns and seven minutes of top control in her debut but still dropped a razor-thin decision. Against Miller—who is just 3-3, relies almost exclusively on jiu-jitsu and has shown little striking improvement since winning The Ultimate Fighter—Petrovic owns the more rounded skill set. Millz expects Petrovic to repeat her high-volume kickboxing, mix in clinch trips, and ultimately pour on ground-and-pound for a possible third-round stoppage. The actionable angle is to back the Petrovic money-line or play Petrovic by late KO/TKO at plus money.

The Weasle said Ivana Petrovich is the side to back in the opener because she is simply more well-rounded. Petrovich owns the only functional ground game in the matchup and her striking, while not dynamic, is at least technically sound. Juliana Miller comes forward recklessly, but The Weasle noted she never cuts the cage, so her aggression turns into aimless pressure that does not score. With both women labeled as "slow, sloppy strikers," Petrovich’s grappling edge becomes the deciding factor. He expects Petrovich to bank minutes from top position and take a clear decision, making her a solid money-line play and a safe parlay piece.

Jim Malaro agreed that Ivana Petrovich is the side and pushed the angle even harder, forecasting a quick submission. He said Miller has "fallen off an absolute cliff," noting she was finished on the feet by Luana Santos after gassing almost immediately and has shown no improvement since The Ultimate Fighter. Malaro emphasized Petrovich’s strength edge, heavier hands, and willingness to grapple. He believes Miller’s lack of defensive jiu-jitsu combined with Petrovich’s squeeze makes an early club-and-sub or topside choke live, recommending Petrovich ITD with a special look at the submission prop.

Kunath predicted Ivana Petrovic will cruise to a unanimous decision because Juliana Miller is simply out-gunned. Miller is tall but not strong for flyweight, has just three UFC bouts, and her lone win came over Brogan Walker, whom Kunath says never belonged on the roster. By contrast, Petrovic is "meaner," far more experienced, lands the heavier shots, and can dictate where the fight takes place. The only danger is a reckless head-and-arm throw that could let Miller take her back, but Kunath doubts the Norwegian will make that mistake. Expect Petrovic to land the cleaner boxing combinations, mix in safe takedowns, and control every round en route to the judges' scorecards. Kunath labeled the –230 money-line a solid parlay anchor and likes Petrovic’s steady scoring profile for cash-game DFS lineups.

For his ‘fade the bad fighter’ parlay, Gumby Vreeland spotlighted Ivana Petrovic by submission at a hefty +500. He pointed out that Petrovic owns three subs in seven pro wins—including each of her last two finishes—and is far more technical on the mat than Juliana ‘Killer’ Miller, whose reactive grappling often leaves openings during scrambles. Vreeland noted Miller’s 38% takedown defense and tendency to fall to her back, predicting Petrovic will advance to dominant positions and fish for armbars or rear-nakeds. Given that Miller has yet to face an opponent willing to proactively attack her with submissions, Gumby felt the market severely underestimates Petrovic’s finishing equity.

MMA Guru said Ivana Petrovic will cruise to a 30-27 decision over Juliana Miller. Guru tore into Miller’s recent form, calling her last fight "the worst I’ve ever seen" and labeling her "frail" with little technical skill beyond toughness. Petrovic, by contrast, is the –230 favorite, owns a reach advantage, is the naturally bigger, stronger athlete, and fights with far cleaner technique. Because Miller offers almost no offensive threats and Petrovic can dictate range, Guru expects a one-way striking clinic that the judges will score for Petrovic on every card. He advised backing the Petrovic moneyline or Petrovic-by-decision prop.

Bedtime MMA said Ivana Petrovich is a reliable side over Giuliana Miller, projecting a decision and leaving room for a late submission. He dismissed Miller’s chances by pointing out that she was recently TKO’d by Luana Santos with what he likened to Nate Diaz’s fence-slap flurries against Conor McGregor— hardly real knockout power. Because Miller has looked fragile and offers little finishing danger, the tout expects Petrovich to control the exchanges, pile up effective offense, and convince the judges or pounce on a grappling mistake for the tap.

During his Underdog Pick-’Em segment, Gumby Vreeland targeted the "higher than" line on Ivana Petrovic’s significant strikes. He expects Petrovic to eclipse the prop because Miller has absorbed 5.44 sig-strikes per minute while landing only 1.85 herself, and her 0-for-4 takedown defense means Petrovic should secure dominant positions and unleash steady ground-and-pound. Vreeland noted Petrovic averaged 37 significant strikes in her five pre-UFC wins and landed 41 in her debut, suggesting volume is there if Miller survives beyond the opening stanza. With the favorite projected to control where the fight takes place and Miller’s porous defense guaranteeing opportunities, Gumby endorsed the over as a creative way to back Petrovic without laying –220.

Jeff Fox echoed the Petrovic side, bluntly stating that Juliana Miller "is not good." Fox highlighted Miller’s 3-3 record, two straight losses, year-plus inactivity, and complete inability to land or defend takedowns. He views this matchup as a classic "get-right fight" for Petrovic and is comfortable laying the –220 money line, expecting the favorite to win without much trouble.
