UFC Paris: Matthieu Letho Duclos vs. Luis Felipe Dias: Prediction
In this clash of styles, I predict a submission win for Dias over Duclos because he has more than one path to victory. Dias isn’t only a heavy hitter on the feet, but also a vicious submission artist who can submit opponents down the mat.
Both are currently in the prime years of their careers, but Dias’ style is just a perfect fit for Duclos’. Dias can close the distance and walk down Duclos because he’ll be too worried about the incoming takedown attempts.
But at the same time, Dias should be cautious of Duclos’ power and elite striking. He should avoid lunging in way too early to shoot for takedowns and walk into a knee strike or a kick that can completely change the complexity of the bout.
