UFC Vegas 114: Vitor Petrino vs. Steven Asplund: Prediction
Due to his superior grappling skills, I predict a submission victory for Petrino over Asplund. Both have a one-punch knockout ability, but I think Petrino won’t engage in a firefight with Asplund, especially since he has previously finished six of his seven opponents.
With the grappling-heavy fight plan, Petrino will not only neutralize or nullify the power of Asplund, but he can also use it as his offense to maneuver his way into a sleek submission technique, especially since Asplund has already had a submission defeat in his career.
