UFC 326: Luke Fernandez vs. Rodolfo Bellato: Prediction
Because of the precision and power of Fernandez, I predict a knockout finish for him over Bellato. Fernandez’s tactical and calculated approach allows him to find the best angle and strike to throw against his opponents.
Furthermore, he does a great job of controlling the center of the octagon with his forward-pressure. I think Bellato will employ a wrestling-heavy or grappling-heavy approach to attempt to neutralize the power of Fernandez, but his takedown defense will be good enough to hold him off.
