Palpites UFC Vegas 108: Taira x Park

Check out the predictions and analysis for all the fights on the card below. The predictions take into account the fighters’ current form, performance history and fighting styles.

Piera Rodriguez x Ketlen Souza

Bet: Rodriguez wins

Analysis: Piera makes up for what she lacks in skill with a lot of grit. She’s aggressive and has good wrestling, and once she gets the takedowns she has good control on top. Ketlen has a heavy hand and is good on the ground, but I think Piera’s agility will make the difference.

Rafael Estevam x Felipe Bunes

Bet: Estevam wins
* Rafael accepted the fight a week in advance

Analysis: Bunes was already going to face a quarry and now he’s going to face another athlete in the same danger. Bunes joined the UFC recently, but he’s already 35 years old and has seven losses. Estevam is still undefeated, has good gas and is good both on the ground and on his feet. The only issue is the few days of camping. But overall, I think Rafael, with his 28 years and willpower, has a good chance of coming out victorious.

Austin Bashi vs John Yannis

Bet: Bashi wins

Analysis: Fight arranged with very few days’ notice. They went for a very beatable guy to get Bashi back in the win column. And I think that’s right. Yannis prefers to fight on his feet, but his game doesn’t match Bashi’s. Austin is very quick to invest in wrestling and shouldn’t be left standing. And the moment the fight goes to the ground, he’ll impose his style.

Nick Klein x Andrey Pulyaev

Bet: Klein wins

Analysis: Two big guys who will probably go at each other from the start. Klein has a little less experience, but he’s more dangerous. Pulyaev doesn’t have a good volume of punches and with his back on the ground, he’s lost.

Rodolfo Vieira x Tresean Gore

Bet: Gore wins

Analysis: Rodolfo has been fluctuating a lot. And although he’s a beast on the ground, he’s not very good on the feet. Gore is not an ace in any area, but he has a good wingspan, can take a beating and is very strong. I think Tresean, if he’s focused, has more weapons to put a damper on the Brazilian’s life.

Rinya Nakamura vs Nathan Fletcher

Bet: Fletcher wins

Analysis: Difficult fight to predict. Two athletes with very similar styles will invest in wrestling. And it will depend on who manages to impose their game first. If the fight goes to the ground, Fletcher is very dangerous. And on the feet, I think the Englishman could trouble Nakamura, who doesn’t like a lot of exchanges.

Danny Silva vs Kevin Vallejos

Bet: Vallejos wins

Analysis: Two top-level exchangers. Silva will have a height advantage, but I don’t think the matchup for him will match up too well. Vallejos is an Argentinian who likes to hit and has absurd knockout power, as well as differentiated endurance. I think Kevin will destroy the momentum little by little, until the American’s soul is gone from his body.

Neil Magny vs Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos

Bet: Magny wins

Analysis: Magny has suffered two brutal knockouts, but this time he won’t have to worry too much about that. All he has to do is impose his game, take the fight to the cage and tire the Brazilian out enough that he’ll be in the mood. I’m taking into account Elizeu’s last performance, which was a complete horror. He had no desire, no rhythm and ended up getting knocked out. I don’t think Magny will knock him out, but a decision win for the American is likely.

Karol Rosa x Nora Cornolle

Bet: Cornolle wins

Analysis: Nora is a French muay thai fighter who, despite being 35, has a high level of striking and is improving her ground game too. Karol is only 30, but she fights in a bureaucratic, slow way. If the Brazilian goes in in her normal way, she’ll be swallowed up by the Frenchwoman. And I believe that’s exactly what will happen.

Elves Brener x Esteban Ribovics

Bet: Ribovics wins

Analysis: Unfortunately, I have to say that the Argentine is more complete. Ribovics has a good fight IQ and dangerous kicks. Brener can take a lot of beating, but as the fight goes on, he’s getting tired. I see Esteban with more weapons to beat the Brazilian.

Mateusz Rębecki vs Chris Duncan

Bet: Rębecki wins

Analysis: The two have a very similar fighting style, with a high investment in wrestling. Only Rebecki has more experience and is stronger. Duncan has been finished before and, if Mateusz enters the fight focused and on top, he has everything it takes to cause a lot of problems for the Scot.

Tatsuro Taira vs. HyunSung Park

Bet: Park wins
* Park accepted the fight a few days beforehand

Analysis: Even if he doesn’t have a full camp, Park is a very dangerous fighter and I think he will give Taira a lot of problems. Hyun is good in any area that the fight develops, but if he stands, his strength will make even more of a difference. Taira prefers the grappling game, as he has exquisite jiu-jitsu. But on the feet, his body and chin strength have yet to be tested. The Japanese fighter is 25 and still has a long way to go, while the Korean is 29 and at the peak of his physical strength.
