UFC Vegas 114: Brad Tavares vs. Eryk Anders: Prediction
My prediction is a unanimous decision for Tavares over Anders because he’s the more technical striker and has a lot more variety in his striking. Tavares likes to spam opponents with his one-two combinations, and I think he’ll be able to land several of these against Anders, especially since he doesn’t have good head movement and his hands are always low.
Tavares also has good front kicks and leg kicks that he can fire against Anders to mix up his offense. This wider range of striking arsenal will be the biggest factor in this match, as Anders heavily relies on his powerful left-hand punch.
