TOM BREESE VS KB BHULLAR LOWDOWN
One of the unluckiest men in the game, Tom Breese has been riddled with injury for his entire UFC career which has seen him only make the walk to the octagon six times in five years. Fortunately, he has been able to get some grappling matches under the belt, but he has so much potential in MMA and time is slipping away to fulfil that. He won his first three UFC fights before losing a split decision to Sean Strickland in 2016. He returned in 2018 up at middleweight and turned back the clock with a brilliant first round knockout over veteran Dan Kelly. He then was forced out for two more years but returned against a beastly Brendan Allen who got the first round TKO to peg his record back to 11-2.
He takes on KB Bhullar who got the call-up on short notice to take on Breese but has had to wait a little longer to make his UFC debut. They were scheduled to fight last week on the Fight Island 4/UFC on ESPN 16 card but it was rescheduled. Bhullar cannot wait to make his debut and sits proudly on an unbeaten record of 8-0 coming off four wins for his local promotion in Edmonton, Canada – Unified MMA.
TOM BREESE VS KB BHULLAR PREDICTION
Breese has fought most his career at welterweight, but middleweight is his more natural weight class now. Him and Bhullar are very rangy standing at 6’3” and 6’4” respectively and this will be an exciting scrap.
This really depends on where Breese is at mentally and physically. He has the experience and has all the skills on the mat and on the feet so if his training and preparations have gone smoothly you have to back him for a win and potentially a finish. The money is with Bhullar as the underdog, but he will have his hands full if Breese is on point.
Prediction: Breese via KO/TKO
