Bryan Barberena vs Jason Witt Prediction:

This fight is likely to go the distance as neither Bryan Barberena nor Jason Witt is well known for their KO power. On feet, there is a possibility that Barberena gets the finish in the later rounds. However, the chances are slim considering the fact that Barberena has not had a TKO win since 2018.

However, he is likely to win the fight against Jason Witt with relative ease. Jason Witt has good experience but he has not fought the level of opponents Barberena has fought in UFC. Besides that, Barberena has good ground game and wrestling defense so Jason Witt is unlikely to dominate Barbena on the ground or secure a submission victory.
