UFC Vegas 121: Norma Dumont vs. Ailin Perez: Prediction
A decision win for Perez is my prediction over Dumont because she’s the better overall grappler. This grappling will help her take Dumont down and control her for the majority of the fight. It will also allow Perez to land ground-and-pound strikes and threaten with submissions.
Perez knows that Dumont is the better striker and she doesn’t want to risk to be tagged or hurt on the feet, which is why I believe she’ll take the fight on the ground. But Perez also has an underrated striking, which could help her set up and time those takedowns.
