UFC 327: Dominick Reyes vs. Johnny Walker: Prediction
I predict a TKO/KO win for Reyes over Walker because he’s the more calculated and disciplined fighter. Reyes is also a great counterpuncher with incredible power in his hands, even if Walker initiates the action and chooses to be the more aggressive fighter during the fight.
Walker seems a class lower to opponents who are ranked above him in the division. His unorthodox fighting style doesn’t work on higher-level contenders because he’s always caught with a clean punch or kick that knocks him out.
If Walker brings his unusual fighting style, filled with acrobatic and aerial attacks, I think Reyes will connect a solid punch that will instantly fold Walker or even put him to sleep. My only concern for Reyes is that he’ll give up five inches of reach to Walker.
