UFC OKC: RJ Harris vs. Alvin Hines: Prediction
With the sharp counterpunching and length of Harris, I predict a TKO/KO victory for him over Hines. Harris fights like a boxer, and when he’s not waiting to land his counters, he uses an extended punch combination.
This surprises opponents because they only expect a few combination punches from fellow heavyweight contenders, but Harris fires a lot of punch combinations. The 6-inch reach and 4-inch height difference will also be keys in keeping the fight at a safe distance for Harris.
Hines is a solid grappler who likes to take the fight to the mat, but thanks to the reach and height edge, Harris can telegraph these takedown attempts. Even if Hines forces a clinch battle, Harris’ brute strength overpowers opponents to favorable positions.
