Israel Adesanya Breakdown
Adesanya comes into this battle with plenty of advantages over the much smaller Gastelum, who is giving up nearly 9 inches of reach. On the feet it’s the technical buildup strategy of Adesanya which can give him a significant advantage. He’s got a much more diverse arsenal with effective leg kicks a strong choice against Kelvin, that will have to remain volatile to have any hope closing the striking distance. Defensively Adesanya is solid, rolling with punches and never over committing himself to be exposed to counter shots. He’s a slow starter but ends up the quantity once he has a stronger sense for his opponent.
Gastelum has quickly boxing mixtures and has used this to evaluate some notable finishes. The quality of Kelvin’s resistance is questionable with a lot of older fighters crumbling after getting captured by his superior cardio or speed. Gastelum includes a wrestling foundation but has not made that a focal point of his UFC run. In this battle the dimensions and takedown protection of Adesanya must signify this remains standing. Kelvin has restricted paths to victory beyond landing a flush KO shooter and awarded the reach and protection of Adesanya this does look unlikely.
Since going around Middleweight Gastelum has managed to be impressive despite his height and reach. Weidman showed us that size can be a large factor where the elderly fighters of this division were not able to press the advantage. Adesanya should have the ability to control this fight to keep standing, where he is going to have the ability to style on Gastelum out of range. Round one could be close but past that it will be one way traffic. A late finish or comfy decision seem equally likely.Dustin Poirier Breakdown
These men struggle in what ought to be a very competitive struggle. Both men favour their striking with Holloway’s volume fashion according to Poirier’s technical fundamentals together with surprising power. The people appear to be all over Holloway following his impressive Ortega win and thus the bookie has him lined a substantial favourite. While his boxing and cardio is unmatched at 145lb, it might be another story here. Poirier hits very hard, with much more energy than anything Max would have experienced lately. If there was a weakness Holloway’s match it’s that he takes a lot of clean shots, and there’s no reason a crisp one from Poirier can’t end the fight.
This battle is very likely to start off at Poirier’s favour as he lands the impacting shots and makes use of his reach advantage. Holloway will have to endure until the subsequent rounds in an effort to conquer Poirier with his pace and cardio. Dustin is no slouch in this region and is extremely hard to put himself away. We view this as an early stoppage to get Poirier or close decision led into the judges. The middle rounds will be pivotal in deciding the winner. In +180 the value is clear, back the more dangerous fighter that has firmly established himself along with their toughest division in the game.
Bet = Poirier at 2.80 (+180) odds. Risk 4 Units to win 7.2 Units.
Eryk Anders Breakdown
Rountree is a dangerous striker, both powerful and fast, although his one dimensional gameplan makes him very beatable. Of most concern is his gasoline tank which is quickly depleted as he spams power shots . Additionally his grappling and wrestling is below average. Rountree is coming from a big KO loss to Johnny Walker.
Anders is quite durable and has a basic but dangerous striking style himself. The key to success will be his superior pressure as he can blend in takedowns to put on Rountree out, negating his energy. Rountree is stuck at the bottom of the rankings compared to Anders who recently had competitive match with the title challenger Santos. Start looking for him to survive some early temptations to then implement his wrestling and then take over the fight beyond round one.
Bet = Anders in 1.54 (-185) chances. Risk 3 Units to win 1.62 Units.
Alan Jouban Breakdown
Jouban comes into this fight with much more experience but also a 5??? attain drawback. Grant is 34 decades old and improbable to make massive strides in his overall game. He doesn’t appear very impressive with sloppy method but does have big capability to land the kill shot. Jouban’s durability is an issue but overall he is the much superior fighter. Look for him to deliver a smart game-plan for this one and use his superior arsenal to out attack Grant. Jouban has sneaky power himself but a choice is also probably. .
Bet = Jouban in 2.0 (+100) odds. Risk 3 Units to acquire 3.0 Units.
Max Griffin Breakdown
Imadaev is very unproven and at just 24 years of age has been winning against inferior resistance in the regional landscape. He looks to be getting a lot of respect from the chances makers, possibly because of his Russian background. This is a large step up against Max Griffin who’s a tough UFC veteran. He brings solid boxing and electricity and can blend in the strange takedown when required. Griffin’s question mark is certainly his strength, as he gets rocked in most fights, but he has a fighters attitude for coming back from hardship. Imadaev could be the real deal in which case that is likely to be an action packed affair. Otherwise search for Griffin to box up the inexperienced newcomer. At slight underdog chances we enjoy a bet on the more established fighter.
