GUIDO CANNETTI VS RANDY COSTA LOWDOWN
Guido Cannetti (9-6) gave himself a lifeline in his last fight. He was fighting less than once a year and on a three-fight skid getting submitted by Marlon Vera (2018), knocked out by Danaa Batgerel (2020) and outpointed by Mana Martinez (2021). He then took on Kris Moutinho back in March and plucked a first-round knockout out the bag to extend his shelf life in the UFC.
Randy Costa (6-3) is looking at a three-fight skid himself with another loss here. He got knocked out by Adrian Yanez (2021) and Tony Kelley (2021) which came after two blistering knockouts of his own against Boston Salmon (2019) and Journey Newson (2020). So, he is 2-3 in the UFC now, but he is better than that.
GUIDO CANNETTI VS RANDY COSTA PREDICTION
It was only a matter of time before Costa’s defensive frailties were exposed especially coming up against fighters with the technique of Yanez. That said, his offensive qualities are electrifying and for that reason we would be surprised if the UFC cut him with another loss.
So, despite the form we still expect Costa to aggressively hunt the jaw. Despite the 42 years on the clock, Costa has to respect Cannetti’s own weapons in particular his leg kicks and left hand. He has also only been knocked out once and has a chin on him.
However, we feel Costa has too much firepower, speed and youth for the Argentinian. Cannetti is worth a punt considering the odds and Costa’s defence, but we are backing Costa to find a home for his hands and shins.
