MONTEL JACKSON VS JESSE STRADER LOWDOWN
Montel Jackson (9-2) arrives for his sixth outing in the UFC. He lost his debut via unanimous decision to Ricky Simon which is not a bad loss at all and although he missed weight, he responded to that with a huge win submitting Brian Kelleher, wrapping him up in a d’arce choke. He went on to earn unanimous decisions over Andre Soukhamthath and Felipe Colares which were not as impressive, but he was gaining momentum however, Brett Johns put a halt to that in July last year failing on the wrong side of a unanimous decision this time.
Now, he welcomes Jesse Strader (5-1) to the octagon. His only loss was to Marcelo Rojo who also just made his UFC debut. He got brutally knocked out but he has shown a lot of character bouncing back with two impressive knockouts of his own over Michael Jackson and Isaiah Batin-Gonzalez for Combate Americas although those fights were in 2019.
MONTEL JACKSON VS JESSE STRADER PREDICTION
Strader will be shaking off a bit of rust and will be going through all of the COVID-19 protocols for the first time all while dealing with the octagon jitters whereas Jackson got two fights in last year.
Strader will be dangerous with his knockout power but we are backing Jackson who on paper, should outclass him in every area.
