Overview
- The 34-year-old bantamweight from Calgary makes her first Octagon appearance on Saturday in the opening bout at Rogers Arena.
- DraftKings lists Croden at -120 with Lisboa at +100, reflecting a narrow betting edge for the debutant.
- Croden enters 6-2 with all six wins by finish and no stoppage losses, and she has spoken about unveiling her underused wrestling and grappling.
- Lisboa brings a 7-3 record and prior UFC experience, most recently losing by first-round submission to Luana Santos after a decision win over Ravena Oliveira.
- After LFA victories over Katharina Lehner and Ashley Deen, Croden received her UFC call a little over two months ago and expects strong support from a home crowd.
