CARLOS ULBERG VS FABIO CHERANT LOWDOWN

After an unsuccessful UFC debut, Carlos Ulberg (3- 1) will be hoping to make amends following his defeat to Kennedy Nzechukwu at UFC 259. Ulberg currently trains alongside Israel Adesanya at City Kickboxing Gym. Ulberg secured a ticket to the UFC following a Contender Series win against Bruno Oliveira.

As for Cherant (7-3), the American impressed across the regional scene and eventually earned himself a contract with the UFC. Currently, Cherant is 0-2 since signing with the promotion. Therefore, this weekend is definitely a huge fight for Cherant. A defeat this weekend could spell the end of his time in MMA’s biggest promotion.

CARLOS ULBERG VS FABIO CHERANT PREDICTION

Looking at the tale of the tape, Ulberg will have a significant height advantage over Cherant. Also, Ulberg has a slight advantage in the reach department. Even though Cherant has five professional wins via submission, it will be a difficult task to consistently take Ulberg down this weekend. On the feet, we suspect that Carlos will have a lot of success standing up. From the first bell, Ulberg will be precise and control the stand-up proceedings.

Prediction: Carlos Ulberg via TKO/KO
