Daniels is coming off back-to-back losses to top-tier talent but has never been stopped and brings championship-level experience.
Style matchup: Green’s size, reach, and devastating power versus Daniels’ grit, durability, and veteran savvy. Green is expected to control range with her jab and look for early-to-mid-round finishes; Daniels’ path is to weather the storm, clinch when needed, and hope for a late-round rally or decision upset.
