UFC Sacramento: Marquel Mederos vs. Mason Jones: Prediction
I predict a decision win for Mederos over Jones because he’s the quicker and more explosive fighter. Both are well-rounded fighters, but Mederos is slightly better on the ground and has more variety in his arsenal.
Mederos likes to mix his attack with striking and grappling. He first attacks his opponent’s lead leg to give them something to worry about in the early stages of the match. Then, once their focus shifts to defending them, Mederos will level change and secure top position on the mat.
Jones is expected to defend submission very well against Mederos, but when he rains down ground-and-pound strikes, that is when Mederos will go ahead on the judges’ scorecards with a significant amount of control and damage.
