JOSH PARISIAN VS ALAN BAUDOT LOWDOWN
Josh Parisian (14-5) is coming off a humbling loss to Don’Tale Mayes getting dominated by his grappling (and cup). He got taken down six times and eventually finished in his crucifix. That came after a split decision win over Roque Martinez (2021) and a unanimous decision loss on his UFC debut against Parker Porter (2020) so he still has a lot of work to do to keep his head above water.
Alan Baudot (8-3(1)) is deeper in the water having not won a fight in his three UFC attempts. He was given a nightmare debut taking on the hottest prospect in the division Tom Aspinall (2020). It was a complete mismatch with the Brit putting Baudot out of his misery with a TKO in the first round. The Frenchman got TKO’d again in his next fight against Rodrigo Nascimento (2021) although his loss column was spared with a ‘no contest’ after the Brazilian failed a drugs test. Porter (2022) then caused the three-fight skid with a unanimous decision win.
JOSH PARISIAN VS ALAN BAUDOT PREDICTION
This is a better match-up for these two. Parisian will weigh in at least 20 lbs heavier, but they have the same height and reach and will both want to duke it out on the feet.
Baudot is a lot better than his recent form suggests and maybe it is because he is a smaller heavyweight. He trains with Cyril Gane which can only make him a better fighter, but he has not won a fight in four years.
As the odds suggest, this is a toss-up. We expect them both to have their moments landing shots and it could simply come down to has more heart and volume. A knockout is likely either way and we can also see them crawl to the bell. One to stay clear of from a betting point of view.
