YORGAN DE CASTRO VS JARJIS DANHO LOWDOWN
After Yorgan de Castro’s (6-2-0) murderous knockout of Justin Tafa on his debut in 2019, he has only gone backwards. He took on Greg Hardy in May last year losing a unanimous decision although he did injure his foot early on, but he is coming off another limp unanimous decision loss in October to Carlos Felipe and desperately needs a win now.
Jarjis Danho (5-1-1(1)) has had two UFC fights but they were in 2016 which were a loss and a draw and he has not fought since. He lost a decision to Daniel Omielanczuk on his debut and fought to a draw with Christian Colombo for the Desert Force promotion so his last win was a knockout over Stefan Traunmueller in 2015.
YORGAN DE CASTRO VS JARJIS DANHO PREDICTION
Danho is likely to come in with a grappling heavy approach to avoid De Castro’s weapons on the feet while tiring him out. However, we have to go with De Castro simply because Danho has not fought for over four and a half years and even when he was active, he was not impressing anyone in the UFC.
De Castro has been more active and we expect his superiority on the feet to get the job done. He will open up with thunderous leg kicks and wait for an opening to find the chin. Danho is durable so a decision is as likely as a knockout.
Prediction: De Castro via KO/TKO
