The co-main event of UFC Sacramento will feature the heavyweight showdown between Serghei Spivac and Vitor Petrino, as they throw hands inside Golden 1 Center.

Even though he’s the ranked contender, Spivac is going to be the betting underdog with +115 UFC odds, while Petrino, who’s riding a three-fight win streak, will be the -140 betting favorite.

UFC Sacramento: Serghei Spivac vs. Vitor Petrino: Prediction

My prediction is a TKO/KO win for Petrino over Spivac because he’s the better overall striker and has more power in his punches. Spivac mainly uses his strikes to set up his takedowns, but Petrino’s takedown defense will be enough to stop these attempts.

Petrino’s brute strength and explosiveness should help him stop takedowns and keep the fight on the feet. As long as the fight remains a stand-up battle, Petrino will have the chance to end the fight with his combinations.

I think Petrino will target Spivac’s lead leg early to compromise it and limit his movement. Once he inflicts significant damage on that leg, he can proceed to throw boxing combinations because Spivac will anticipate more leg kicks. This will open more opportunities for Petrino to end the fight via TKO/KO.
