UFC Fight Night, Bill Algeo vs Joanderson Brito Fight Breakdown and Prediction
Heading into this bout at UFC Fight Night, Algeo is coming off three losses in his last four fights. Therefore this fight is extremely crucial as a defeat would put his UFC career into jeopardy. On the contrary, Joanderson Brito is coming off a win in the DWCS and subsequently, he would try to begin his featherweight career in the UFC by getting a dominant win tomorrow.
Despite having a significant disadvantage in height and reach, Brito is a strong favourite to win this contest. Because Senor Perfecto’s takedown defense has been extremely poor throughout his UFC career and Tubarao could easily dominate him on the ground due to his superior grappling.
However, Algeo has a slight edge in striking over Brito as he lands a large volume of strikes. But there isn’t a huge skill gap in terms of striking between the two fighters and one can expect this fight to play out on the ground. Hence Joanderson Brito could well go on and dominate this bout and secure his first UFC victory tomorrow.
