JACOB KILBURN VS AUSTIN LINGO LOWDOWN
Jacob Kilburn (8-3) flies out to Fight Island in search of his first UFC win. He made his debut after two knockout wins for the Island Fights promotion but experienced the step-up in competition when he met Billy Quarantillo in December 2019. He got caught in his triangle choke and we have not seen him since.
Austin Lingo (7-1) is also looking for his first UFC win after fellow debutant Youssef Zalal made the first dent on his record nearly a year ago. He has had a very promising start to his career picking up wins for the Legacy Fighting Alliance and has five finishes in his seven wins but needs this UFC win to make any impression.
JACOB KILBURN VS AUSTIN LINGO PREDICTION
This should be an exciting fight to kick off the Fight Island card. Kilburn packs power with his four knockouts and will cause problems with his wild and aggressive style. If Lingo is not prepared for that, he could get caught but he has the tools and skill to outclass Kilburn on the feet. He also has his grappling to call upon if needed to exploit the holes in Kilburn’s ground game.
Prediction: Lingo via Decision
