MARCIN PRACHNIO VS PHILIPE LINS LOWDOWN
After picking up the most important win of his career in outpointing Khalil Rountree Jr, Marcin Prachnio (14-5) made in two in a row after finishing Ike Vilanueva with a beautiful body kick. It is difficult to read these wins as Villanueva is not UFC calibre and Rountree either looks like a murderer or does not want to be there. Either way, it was a quality unanimous decision and knockout to recover from getting knocked out by Sam Alvey (2018 – debut), Magomed Ankalaev (2018) and Mike Rodriguez (2020).
Philipe Lins (14-5) has also been out for a while last gracing the octagon in June 2020. It was his second UFC fight where he met Tanner Boser and it could not have gone worse getting knocked out in the first round. That came after a unanimous decision loss on his debut against Andrei Arlovski (2020) so they were two very tough fights to start a UFC campaign, but he is under a lot of pressure here to get the dub.
MARCIN PRACHNIO VS PHILIPE LINS PREDICTION
Lins drops down light heavyweight again which could bring the best out of him or make his return even harder. We have all been waiting a while to see the form that won him the 2018 PFL heavyweight tournament where he reeled off three finishes including a submission and knockouts over Jared Rosholt and Josh Copeland.
Excitingly, Prachnio is also a dangerous striker with knockout power, and they are both there to be hit so we can see a knockout here. Lins has the grappling advantage but neither of them have attempted a takedown so far in the UFC, so expect them to stand in front of each other and swing for the fences.
