UFC 329: Ryan Gandra vs. Zachary Reese: Prediction
My prediction is a decision win for Reese over Gandra because he’s clearly the better grappler. Reese can use the same fight plan he implemented against Michel Pereira, where he mixed up his attack and threatened with takedowns.
This could make Gandra second-guess going all out with his striking and punching power because there’s always the threat of the takedown that could easily nullify his biggest weapon. If Gandra wants to secure the win, he should apply pressure early and land a significant strike to earn Reese’s respect.
Meanwhile, Reese’s key to victory is to drag Gandra to the deep waters of the three-round match and test his cardio. The American contender should also be wary of Gandra’s setups, as he can lure opponents into a striking battle.
