UFC Houston: Alden Coria vs. Luis Gurule: Prediction
My prediction is a unanimous decision victory for Coria against Gurule because he’s the quicker fighter. Both are heavy punchers with one-punch knockout power, but the speed of Coria will be the key difference on fight night.
Aside from the quickness of Coria, he’ll also enjoy the edge in physicality as the taller and longer fighter. This will be crucial in exchanges, but I think that Coria is going to land more strikes because he won’t need to cover a lot of distance.
Furthermore, Coria has more variety in his offensive arsenal than Gurule, and this will come in handy in the latter part of the match, where both should dig deep in order to sway the judges in giving them the victory via their scorecards.
