MATTHEW SEMELSBERGER VS JASON WITT LOWDOWN
Matthew Semelsberger (7-2) is coming off his successful debut against Carlton Minus where he handed him his third loss in in his last four. He earnt the unanimous decision back in August to extend his winning run to four and will need another top performance here to make it five.
Jason Witt (18-6) had an unsuccessful debut back in June, but he had a tough entrance. He accepted a fight with the hard-hitting Takashi Sato on just two days’ notice filling in for Ramiz Brahimaj who tested positive for COVID-19. Witt ended up getting knocked out in the first round but made amends in October wrapping Cole Williams up in an arm triangle.
MATTHEW SEMELSBERGER VS JASON WITT PREDICTION
We cannot read too much into Witt’s fight with Sato as he had no time to prepare but his fight against Cole Williams was a much more accurate representation of his pedigree. Semelsberger also looked comfortable but Minus is not UFC calibre and we are backing Witt to get the job done.
There should be some exciting exchanges on the feet but ultimately Witt will sway the judges with his grappling and as he is currently the underdog, he is well worth a punt.
