UFC Mexico: Ryan Gandra vs. Jose Daniel Medina: Prediction
A TKO/KO victory for Gandra over Medina is my prediction because of the tremendous power and volume he throws. Gandra throws his strikes with the intention of putting the lights out of his opponent. I think he’ll do the same against Medina.
Medina is a very durable opponent with a granite chin, but he could only absorb several solid strikes before he gets stunned. This was seen during his bout with Ateba Gautier, where he absorbed the first wave of vicious punches but was eventually stopped.
The only route to victory for Medina is to push Gandra to full three rounds and gas him out. But unless he makes Gandra miss a chunk of his punches, Medina wouldn’t be able to survive the onslaught from “Problema.”
