Leon Edwards kicks Kamaru Usman in their Welterweight title bout during the UFC 278Underdogs win the third fight trilogy fights 19 percent of the time .The third fight of trilogies ends in a finish 61.2 percent of the time.We could look at this fight afterward and say, “Wow Usman’s body broke down,” similar to McGregor’s leg break in July of 2021.Instead, let’s target this one to go to decision.

The first fight went to decision, the second fight was two minutes away from going to decision, and each fighter holds above a 61 percent decision rate in the UFC.Rafael Fiziev vs. Justin Gaethje predictionFiziev is one the cleanest technical strikers in the UFC and is matched up with the most chaotic fighter in the organization.And he believes you won’t be able to take his shot, but that hasn’t exactly worked for him much recently.

I have targeted Fiziev for months as one of the very best prospects in the division with future champion potential.In fact, this could be a showcase fight for him as Gaethje doesn’t offer enough volume to hurt Fiziev consistently and doesn’t have the most power.
