UFC Fight Night: Parker Porter vs Alan Baudot Fight Breakdown and Prediction
Parker Porter had a terrible UFC debut as he suffered a KO/TKO loss against Chris Daukaus. Thereafter the 36 year old heavyweight has been part of two epic three round wars and has emerged victorious in both of them. Porter’s high output of strikes along with good ground control are few strong points of the heavyweight.
However, Parker not being unable to finish both his oppnents and absorbing a lot of strikes is a huge drawback in his game. Considering the fact that Baudot has a lot of venom in his strikes and has won all eight out of his fights via KO/TKO.
Despite possessing threatening knockout power, Alan is yet to earn his first win in the UFC. This is mainly due to his poor cardio and weak durability. Therefore if Porter manages to survive the initial onslaught of Alan Baudot then he will go on and secure his third straight win in the promotion.
