UFC 326: Caio Borralho vs. Reinier de Ridder: Prediction

I predict a unanimous decision win for de Ridder over Borralho, as he’s the better overall grappler and has decent striking skills to inflict significant damage on the feet. De Ridder gets a hold of his opponents pretty tight and doesn’t let them go once he locks his hands behind them.

The only knack on de Ridder is his cardio and stamina, as he often breathes heavily as the fight progresses. However, this match is only going to be three rounds, and I think the Dutch MMA star won’t be afraid to go all out in his attack, especially in the early stages of the bout.

On the other hand, expect Borralho to go for de Ridder’s head with his incredible power and one-punch knockout ability. But de Ridder will immediately neutralize this by forcing a clinch battle until he secures a takedown.
