DEVIN CLARK VS WILLIAM KNIGHT LOWDOWN
Devin Clark (12-6) fights for the first time this year and he is desperate for a win. His last wins came in 2020 when he earnt unanimous decisions over Dequan Townsend and Alonzo Menifield. However, he then faced a step-up in competition getting submitted by Anthony Smith (2020) and then outpointed again by Ion Cutelaba (2021).
William Knight (11-3) has also been inconsistent in his young UFC career. He exploded onto the scene with a TKO on the Contender Series and earnt a measured unanimous decision over Aleksa Camur (2020) on debut. He then got outpointed by Da Un Jung (2021) before reeling of a knockout over Fabio Cherant and another unanimous decision over Alonzo Menifield the same year. However, Maxim Grishin halted the momentum with a classy unanimous decision win.
DEVIN CLARK VS WILLIAM KNIGHT PREDICTION
These chunky boys step up from light heavyweight and it is good to see the UFC are not just pitting one of them up against a natural heavyweight. So, this is good matchmaking and we should get to see the best version of themselves in terms of strength and explosiveness.
Clark is a strong man and very bottom-heavy which helps his wrestling, Knight will have the power advantage and also employs his wrestling to grind out wins when he does not have the energy to uncork knockout blows.
They are very evenly matched as powerful wrestlers without a weight cut to worry about. We are backing Clark’s cardio to help him edge the wrestling especially in the second and third round. Knight will be giving up the range, but his explosiveness always makes the knockout a possibility.
