KAI KAMAKA III VS TJ BROWN LOWDOWN
After seven unanimous decisions in a row, Kai Kamaka (8-3) finally fell. It was his second UFC appearance and third fight of 2020, but he ran into Jonathan Pearce. It was a great back-and-forth battle but Pearce was just too much for Kamaka and eventually finished him with ground-and-pound. This came only two months after his successful UFC debut against Tony Kelley.
TJ Brown (14-8) is still looking for his first UFC win. He got his opportunity in the UFC by submitting Dylan Lockard on the Contender Series back in 2019 which capped a four-fight streak with two knockouts and two submissions. However, he got submitted by Jordan Griffin on his debut and then lost a unanimous decision to Danny Chavez six months later in August last year.
KAI KAMAKA III VS TJ BROWN PREDICTION
Brown is the slightly bigger fighter with a two-inch height and three-inch reach advantage, and this should be an attritional battle with a lot of volume in strikes and takedown attempts but do not expect any highlight reel finishes.
They both love a takedown, but both have very average takedown defence we could easily see them swap some control time and in between exchange strikes on the feet. This should be a very close fight and whoever lands more in terms of strikes and takedowns will sway the judges.
