CHRIS DAUKAUS VS RODRIGO NASCIMENTO LOWDOWN
Fresh off his triumphant UFC debut, Chris Daukaus (9-3) returns for his second fight of the year. He took on Parker Porter and put on a beating finishing him in the first round to notch his eighth knockout from his nine wins.
Rodrigo Nascimento (8-0) is also fresh off his debut win in the UFC making his second appearance of the year. After four submissions is a row including an arm-triangle over Michal Martinek on Dana White’s Contender Series, Nascimento made it five choking Don’Tale Mayes back in May.
CHRIS DAUKAUS VS RODRIGO NASCIMENTO PREDICTION
Daukaus will no doubt hunt the knockout as he has great hands and Nascimento will be aware of how heavy they are so his game plan is likely to remain the same and that is to throw some shots but ultimately get Daukaus down and look for the submission.
However, the sooner the Brazilian can get the takedown the better. He has the ability to get the knockout himself but his easiest route to victory is the submission.
Prediction: Nascimento via Submission
