Undefeated prospect Rafael Estevam looks to keep his perfect record intact against Ethyn Ewing this Saturday, as he moves up in the bantamweight division in their match at UFC Vegas 115 inside Meta APEX in Las Vegas.

Even though he has an undefeated pro record, Estevam heads into the bout as the betting underdog with +120 UFC odds, while Ewing is going to be the betting favorite with -145 odds.

UFC Vegas 115: Ethyn Ewing vs. Rafael Estevam: Prediction

I predict a TKO/KO victory for Ewing over Estevam since he’s the heavier puncher and has decent takedown defense. Ewing has a unique aggression of in-your-face pressure, which he employed well in his promotional debut to secure the win.

Ewing likes the fighting style because he knows that when he connects against his opponents, they’ll instantly feel his power and be forced to cover up. Even if he’s the one getting pressured against the fence, he throws a quick punch combination to fend them off.

Furthermore, Ewing is a naturally bigger athlete than Estevam because this fight will be Estevam’s debut in the 135-pound weight class. This means the Brazilian fighter will feel a different striking power and strength from Ewing, which will be important in their grappling battle.
