UFC Vegas 116: Max Griffin vs. Victor Valenzuela: Prediction
My prediction is a unanimous decision win for Griffin over Valenzuela due to his longer reach, which will be crucial in striking exchanges, especially since both of them are stand-up fighters who like to throw hands.
Apart from his physical advantage in reach, Griffin has experience competing inside the octagon, compared to Valenzuela, who has only competed on Dana White’s “Contender Series and lost.
