UFC Seattle: Chase Hooper vs. Lance Gibson Jr.: Prediction
With his better grappling, I predict a unanimous decision win for Hooper over Gibson Jr. Hooper should fully commit to his takedowns after he suffered a TKO/KO loss at the hands of Alexander Hernandez in his previous fight.
Gibson Jr. had a decent debut against King Green, but he was gun-shy of firing his punches because of the power that swung back his way. This time, I think Gibson Jr. will open a lot more, knowing that Hooper doesn’t have a one-punch knockout power.
But the wrestling and grappling of Hooper will still be the main catalysts in this bout, as he controls his opponents very well on the ground. Although Gibson Jr. has decent takedown defense, I think Hooper will still land significant strikes, especially when he secures the mount.
