UFC Vegas 120: Louie Sutherland vs. Jose Montanha Da Silva: Prediction
My prediction is a submission win for Da Silva over Sutherland because he’s the better overall grappler. Sutherland only grapples when he needs to take down his opponents, avoid heavy punches, and gas them out.
But he can’t risk himself in a grappling match with Da Silva since he’s very tricky with submissions. Though Sutherland can still rely on his power punches to potentially tag and hurt Da Silva.
Also, Sutherland has been defeated by submission before, which is why I think Da Silva will look to exploit this area to force a tap out of him. I think Da Silva will lure Sutherland to a striking battle first before shooting for a takedown and working his way into a submission victory.
