UFC Vegas 120: Steven Asplund vs. Guilherme Pat: Prediction
Because of his speed advantage, I predict a decision victory for Pat over Asplund. Pat is among the contenders in the heavyweight division who’s light on his feet and throws an extended boxing combination.
This speed and combination always give problems to other opponents, especially those with a similar fighting style like Asplund. The American contender relies more on his power, and his best weapon is the one-two punch combination.
I think Pat will just move around Pat and make him miss throughout the fight with his footwork and head movement. Also, Pat can grind out and exhaust Asplund by forcing clinch battles to chop off significant energy and power from him.
