Hey man, interesting read. Before going a bit further into it, I think cleaning up the thread title with proper grammar and including at least an introductory piece of the article in the thread will have more people reading it.
I feel like you're riding JJ a little hard and being unnecessarily harsh on Andrade. Yes Andrade has a lot of holes, but she is improving and she has something that is very valuable. Power and pressure. She also at times showed quite good timing against Hill and a few good overhands that was actually very technically sound.
JJ is clearly a better striker than Hill, but she doesn't use angles as effectively. She'll be using her range, volume and attacks straight down the line to keep Andrade at bay. She doesn't have a lot of power so I feel like Andrade can get through it, and JJ also doesn't have very good defensive boxing so she'll probably get tagged. The part about Andrade having poor fight IQ and perhaps being cocky for standing with Hill, well, that might be true to some extent, but JJ has underrated grappling anyway (especially her defensive grappling) so the fight will most be contested on the feet. Still, you're right, if Andrade can get her back to the cage and mix it up it will benefit her.
I also think it's not entirely fair to say that, unlike Hill, JJ has poise. She does have a lot of poise yes, but Hill showed a very calm and level head in the Andrade fight. It's incredibly tough fighting someone like that, even if they swing wild, because of the pressure they put on you. She was taking angles, countering and being very cerebreal during that whole thing. Impressively so I'd say.
Anyway, I think JJ takes it, although she has been cracked a few times lately and hasn't shown the power to hurt someone like Andrade easily. I still feel like JJ will use her craftiness and mix it up with the front kicks, low kicks, elbows in range and the clinch to keep Andrade guessing, which will ultimately lead to her victory.
Let's see! It will be a good fight!
