UFC Vegas 120: Miles Johns vs. Gianni Vazquez: Prediction
I predict a decision win for Johns over Vazquez because he had a full camp heading into the match. Although Vazquez stays ready and in shape even without a fight at hand, Johns will still enter the match as the more ready fighter.
Johns’ boxing background will be on full display against Vazquez, who’s also a striker himself. This opponent change is very beneficial for Johns since he won’t need to worry much about takedowns and grappling battles.
I think Johns will win most of the striking exchanges because he’ll fire more extended combinations that will keep Vazquez on the defensive. Johns can also target Vazquez’s lead leg to mix up his attack and give him different looks on fight night.
