UFC Macau: Yi Sak Lee vs. Luis Felipe Dias: Prediction

Dias’ brute strength is why I pick him to win via TKO/KO. Both are savage submission artists, and I think they’ll cancel each other’s grappling skills. But the sheer force of Dias should be enough to overpower Lee.

Lee will have the slight speed advantage, but he’s very wild when swinging with his punches and is very open to sharp counters. Dias should look for a perfect one-two punch combination.

Dias should also utilize his power jabs to inflict damage and score points on the judges’ scorecards. The only thing Dias should be wary of is the leg kicks that Lee could potentially fire because he had problems defending them during his fight at Dana White’s Contender Series.

Yi Sak Lee’s Recent Fight Results
