UFC Shanghai: Jack Jenkins vs. Sean Woodson: Prediction
My prediction is a TKO/KO win for Jenkins over Woodson because he’s a notorious kicker. He likes to throw a variety of kicks against his opponents, and I think he’ll employ the same strategy against Woodson.
Although Woodson will have the edge in height and reach, I think his fighting style fits perfectly against Jenkins because he will have access to leg kicks. Woodson has a solid boxing background, and he plants his lead leg when firing.
Additionally, Jenkins is expected to spam him with kicks to the head and body. Even if Woodson blocks those kicks, there will still be significant damage. Once this damage accumulates, he won’t be able to fire his punches with the same power.
