UFC Macau: Jake Matthews vs. Carlston Harris: Prediction
As the better grappler, I predict a submission victory for Matthews over Harris. Matthews is a savage submission artist who jumps into submission techniques swiftly and capitalizes on them until he gets a tap out of his opponent.
Although Harris is a better striker than Matthews, the powerful left hook of Matthews should be taken seriously, as it can put any contender to sleep when landed cleanly. Matthews is also a pressure fighter and forces his opponents to fight on the back foot.
I believe Matthews will immediately go for a takedown, since Harris also has enormous power in his hands. If Matthews doesn’t secure a submission finish, he’ll be ahead on the judges’ scorecards en route to a decision win.
