UFC OKC: Austin Bashi vs. Jose Miguel Delgado: Prediction

My prediction is a decision win for Bashi over Delgado, as he’s the better grappler. He’s expected to use his grappling skills against Delgado to avoid his power punches and grind out a win with submission attempts and ground-and-pound attacks.

It’s no secret that Bashi prefers fighting on the mat rather than on his feet because he wants to maximize his Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt credentials. Though he has underrated striking skills, I still think he’s better off opting into a grappling-heavy fight plan.

Bashi should double down on this department, especially since Delgado has incredible power in his punches and kicks. The young featherweight prospect, though, should be wary of Delgado’s sneaky submission skills and not underestimate his grappling game.
