UFC Vegas 119: Shane Collins vs. Otari Tanzilovi: Prediction
With the accuracy and elite jab game of Collins, I predict a decision for him over Tanzilovi. Collins has an incredibly powerful jab that sets up his heavy right-hand punch. He’s also very responsible with his defense and doesn’t overextend.
Although Tanzilovi has more variety in his attacks, particularly the different kicks he can throw from a comfortable distance, Collins’ precision can combat these with sharp counters. Also, Tanzilovi doesn’t swarm his opponents with multiple strikes; instead, he settles for a three-strike combination at max before he resets.
Collins could throw Tanzilovi off with forward pressure and swarm him with extended combinations to get him out of rhythm. Furthermore, the championship experience of Collins outside the UFC will be handy in his octagon debut.
