UFC Mexico: Édgar Cháirezvs. Felipe Bunes: Prediction
Because of his outstanding boxing skills and overall better striking, I predict a unanimous decision win for Cháirez over Bunes. Both are vicious submission artists on the ground, but I think both will be cautious to take the fight down the mat.
As Cháirez and Bunes cancel each other’s grappling, the striking of Cháirez will surely shine on exchanges, especially when he lets go of his hands. Stiff jabs and atomic hooks are the best weapons of choice for Cháirez, and I think he’ll be able to clip Bunes several times.
Bunes doesn’t have heavy leg kicks, which is why he won’t be able to slow Cháirez’s movement and power. Unless he forces a grappling battle and ends up on top of Cháirez, I don’t see him winning the striking showdown in this fight.
