![]() I've never been comfortable betting on pure submission grapplers with no reliable way to get the fight to the ground. The latter credential doesn't mean he is about to submit Gracie, but it could be just enough to keep himself safe in some of the wild scrambles created by Kron and get back to space, where he should hold a massive advantage. Jourdain hasn't exactly been a picture of consistency during his time in the UFC but has shown himself to be a powerful and technical range striker who can hold his own on the mat. UFC 288 BET: Kennedy Nzechukwu wins via KO/TKO or disqualification: (+135) Weight Class: FeatherweightĬharles Jourdain (13-6-1) vs. This is in sharp contrast to Clark, who has recorded one stoppage win in his 15-fight UFC tenure. These days, the 30-year-old knows when to step on the gas against a vulnerable opponent, and has become quite the finisher in those situations. Nzechukwu has come a long way since doing just enough to keep Paul Craig in the fight until he found a submission. We've seen "Brown Bear" get hurt by lunging his way into shots, and it will be difficult for him to accomplish this without running into the long arm of his opponent. To be fair, Clark has handled rangy opponents well in the past, but the African fighter has shown an uptick in aggression and general activity of late, outlanding opponents in four of his last five fights. I am prepared for our fighter to have to weather an early storm once again, but often it's Clark who gets hurt in bouts and needs to rally, which makes me optimistic that we may just roll to a cashed ticket. Not only did he viciously knock out both men, but he did it while withstanding early charges from a better submission grappler in Danilo Marques and a better wrestler in Ion Cutelaba. ![]() Nzechukwu has already won this kind of fight twice in recent memory, with both bouts ending in our desired method. All our lines come from William Hill and are accurate to the post date of this article. Our breakdowns this month include a jiujitsu ace who has made strides to round out her game and a powerful striker who will look to stay on his feet long enough to deliver a knockout blow. ![]() It's Pay-Per-View time once again and we are squarely focused on the meat of the 13-fight slate of UFC 288, with four plus-money pays by stoppage. ![]()
