We believe that motivation will be the deciding factor in determining the winner of this clash. Karolina Kowalkiewicz moved to the United States to train at the legendary American Top Team gym, and is clearly more interested in developing her career as a fighter than her opponent.

Felice had previously been one of the potential title contenders, but in 2018 her career took a sharp turn for the worse following her defeat from Kowalkiewicz.
Herrig is now on a streak of three straight defeats. In her last fight, she lost to Virna Jandiroba by submission. That fight took place in 2020.
Felice hasn’t been in the octagon for two years and that downtime could clearly have an impact on the result. Herrig is not a finisher and she mostly wins by decision.
In her career, she has only one fight won by knockout. In the standup, Herrig does not have the same skills as Kowalkiewicz. Her first fight against Karolina ended in defeat by decision of the judges.

Kowalkiewicz had her peak in 2016. Then, she fought her compatriot Joanna Jędrzejczyk for the title, but was defeated. The slump began after a knockout by Jessica Andrade in 2018.
Since then, Kowalkiewicz has not yet won once. She is now on a losing streak of five fights in a row. It’s not out of the question that if she loses again, Kowalkiewicz will be fired from the UFC.
From that point of view, she is far more motivated than her opponent. That said, Karolina has gone through more opposition in her career than her opponent.
However, Kowalkiewicz as well, like Herrig, does not win by knockouts very often. However, Karolina has better rack stats than Felice. It is possible that Kowalkiewicz will press from the very first seconds of the fight.
