CJ VERGARA VS ODE OSBOURNE LOWDOWN
After a submission defeat to Devin Miller back in 2018, CJ Vergara knocked out his last four opponents before featuring on Dana White’s contender series. Vergara would go on to knock Bruno Korea out in the first round to earn himself an illustrious contract with the UFC. With a professional record of 9-2-1, CJ Vergara will be aiming to impress White on his promotional debut.
Ode Osbourne (9-4) is 1-2 since signing with the UFC. Osbourne is coming off a loss to Manel Kape back at UFC 265. The Jamaican born fighter earned a crack at the DWCS after finishing Aurtan Daley twice and Kelly Offield. A first-round submission victory against Armando Villarreal would earn Osbourne a contract with the UFC. A win this weekend for Osbourne will certainly boost his confidence going forward with the UFC.
CJ VERGARA VS ODE OSBOURNE PREDICTION
Eight out of Osbourne’s nine professional wins have come inside the distance. Going into the fight this weekend, Ode’s versatility could be the key to victory. Osbourne has the speed and power advantage over Vergara.
With that being said, Vergara is an offensive striker and will be desperate to get another early finish. If Osbourne is struggling with Vergara’s quick offensive striking, we expect Osbourne to use his efficient wrestling.
Both men are true finishers and will be looking to put on a real spectacle this weekend. Vergara and Osbourne have rarely gone the distance in their respective professional careers. Therefore, it is likely that this fight will not go the judges’ scorecards.
