UFC Vegas 115: Guillerme Pat vs. Thomas Petersen: Prediction

With the massive height and reach advantages of Pat, I predict a TKO/KO victory for him. This edge in physicality will allow him to stay out of range and anticipate Petersen’s takedown attempts.

Also, Pat is a very solid counterpuncher who’s very accurate with his punches, and Petersen is likely to initiate the action since he’s giving up 5 inches of height, 8 inches of leg reach, and 7 inches of reach disadvantage.

Guillerme Pat’s Recent Fight Results

Pat was an undefeated prospect when he was signed by the UFC last year. He fought Allen Frye Jr. in his promotional debut in December, and he maximized the opportunity to score a unanimous decision victory.

Thomas Petersen’s Recent Fight Results

Petersen was the former LFA champion before he joined Dana White’s Contender Series in 2023. He submitted Chandler Cole to secure a UFC contract. However, in his first five bouts inside the octagon, he only recorded two wins (Mohammed Usman and Don’Tale Mayes) and received three losses (Jamal Pogues, Shamil Gasanov, and Vitor Petrino).
