LUIS SALDANA VS BRUNO SOUZA LOWDOWN

Currently, 4-1 in his last five professional outings, Luis Saldana (15-7) will be looking to go 2-1 inside the UFC. Coming off of a loss to Austin Lingo back in August of 2021, Saldana has the perfect chance to get back in the win column and potentially step foot inside the cage for at least one more time this year.

As for Bruno Souza (10-2), the Brazilian will be looking to put his unsuccessful UFC debut behind him. On that night, he just fell short against Melsik Baghdasaryan, losing via a unanimous decision. Therefore, looking to go 1-1 under the promotion, Souza has to put in a flawless performance against Luis Saldana.

LUIS SALDANA VS BRUNO SOUZA PREDICTION

Going into this weekend’s featherweight showdown, Luis Saldana will have a slight advantage in both the height and reach department. Right from the off, if Saldana has ambitions of winning the fight, he will have to use the reach and height significance to his advantage. With Souza having the better gas tank, we suspect that Bruno will take some time to get into the fight. However, he will have to press forward more if he stands a chance of winning the fight.
