Jeka Saragih vs Yoo Joo-sang prediction
Jeka Saragih (14-4) returns to action almost a year since his last bout which saw him submitted by Westin Wilson. The Indonesian fighter has lost two of his three bouts since joining the UFC and he will likely feel under a degree of pressure coming into this one to get the win and secure his stay in the organisation.
He faces a tough test on his return however as he meets unbeaten newcomer Yoo Joo-sang (8-0). The Korean gets his shot in the UFC after winning all eight professional MMA fights and it will be interesting to see how the 31-year-old measures up.
He has a couple of first-round knockouts in his last three fights but his ability to control fights on the ground is also strong. That may be his route to victory here. Saragih possesses excellent knockout power with nine of his 14 wins coming by knockout, but he can be a little reckless with it.
We fancy Yoo Joo-sang’s chances of controlling this fight and either winning by submission or getting his hand raised at the final bell.
Prediction: Double chance - Yoo Joo-sang to win by submission or decision
