UFC Vegas 118: Bryce Mitchell vs. Santiago Luna: Prediction
A decision win for Mitchell over Luna is my prediction, mainly because of Mitchell’s elite wrestling. Mitchell can neutralize the punching power of Luna, as he’s expected to take the fight down to the mat.
This isn’t the first time Mitchell will be facing a heavy hitter like Luna, and he knows the repercussions of not taking opponents like him to the ground immediately. Mitchell can also transition to different submission techniques as a threat.
Luna may have his moments in striking exchanges, but eventually Mitchell will secure the takedown. Lastly, the experience will be in Mitchell’s favor, as Luna has only eight bouts in his young pro MMA career.
