MILES JOHNS VS KEVIN NATIVIDAD LOWDOWN
Miles Johns (10-1) makes his third UFC appearance coming off the first loss of his career. After stringing together seven wins over the course of over six years, Johns topped up his record with a unanimous decision over Richie Santiago on Dana White’s Contender Series and then successfully marked his UFC debut with a split decision over Cole Williams. However, he tasted defeat and Mario Bautista’s knee suffering his first loss in his last outing.
Like Johns, Kevin Natividad (9-1) made a name for himself racking up wins for the Legacy Fighting Alliance. He lost his LFA debut to Glen Baker getting knocked out, but he has since compiled five impressive wins including three knockouts to earn the call-up to the UFC.
MILES JOHNS VS KEVIN NATIVIDAD PREDICTION
These guys match up very similarly. They have similar records, are a similar age, similar well-rounded skill sets and similar physically with just Natividad boasting a four-inch reach advantage and we can expect a fiercely competitive contest.
We can expect a fast-paced, technical scrap with a mixture of striking and grappling. If Johns starts to win the exchanges we could see Natividad resort to his wrestling to get to the fight to the floor but Johns will be comfortable everywhere and the extra power in his hands could make the difference in earning a close decision.
Prediction: Johns via Decision
