UFC 330: Jalin Turner vs. Kaue Fernandes: Prediction
My prediction is a decision win for Fernandes over Turner because he’s the more dynamic kicker and he’s expected to attack Turner’s lead leg with calf kicks. This was the same strategy he used to beat Harry Hardwick.
Fernandes’ kicks are very quick and powerful, and this fits Turner’s fighting style, who likes to put a lot of weight in his front leg to load up on his punches. I believe he’ll target this early in the fight.
In doing so, Fernandes will compromise Turner’s power and movement, because his best weapon is his punch combination. When this happens, Turner will be an easier target for Fernandes and will be the receiving end of his several combinations.
