How will the fight play out?
This will be the second encounter between these two fighters, following Alex Pereira’s TKO victory over Jiřà Procházka in the second round at UFC 295 in 2023. Predicting the outcome is challenging since both fighters are likely to adjust their strategies for this rematch. However, there are key aspects to consider. First, if you watched their first fight, you saw how Pereira’s leg kicks significantly damaged JiřÒs leg, causing him to lose control, especially in the second round. Pereira will likely employ similar tactics this time, but he’s also likely to have improved his ground game with Glover Teixeira, as Jiřà is very dangerous on the floor.
On the other hand, Jiřà is a dynamic and skilled fighter. This could benefit him if he manages to control the fight from the center of the octagon. If Jiřà can take Pereira down, he has a good chance of securing a submission. Of course, the outcome is always uncertain.
If I had to make a prediction, I would favor Jiřà Procházka. I believe he will aim to bring the fight to the ground, where he excels, second only to Oliveira in submissions.
My Pick: Jiřà Procházka to win the fight in the second round. The best odds at the time of writing are at +127 with BetOBet.
