UFC Macau: Alex Perez vs. Sumudaerji: Prediction
My prediction is a decision win for Sumudaerji over Perez, mainly because of his length. This length will allow Sumudaerji to keep Perez at a safe distance while inflicting damage using his signature kicks.
Sumudaerji has a handful of kicks, but his head kick is what I believe he would use mostly against Perez. Both are striking heavy fighters, and even if Perez decides to force a grappling or a clinch battle, Sumudaerji will be able to defend them confidently.
Perez is also an aggressive fighter who likes to move forward and press his opponents against the cage, but Sumudaerji’s distance management will be enough to maintain a comfortable space between them.
