FARID BASHARAT VS KLEYDSON RODRIGUES LOWDOWN
Farid Basharat (10-0) looks to follow in his brother’s footsteps by stretching his unbeaten record on the big stage. He heads to Paris after his successful UFC debut back in March where he earnt a unanimous decision over Da’Mon Blackshear.
Kleydson Rodrigues’ (8-2) UFC debut did not go quite as smoothly in March last year. He met CJ Vergara and narrowly missed out on a split decision. He returned a year later to take on Shannon Ross at UFC 284 and it went perfectly knocking him out in the first round.
FARID BASHARAT VS KLEYDSON RODRIGUES PREDICTION
Basharat is a wrestler by trade but has become very well-rounded. He will boast a four-inch reach and three-inch height advantage here and is very fluid on the feet. Expect him to use his striking as a first point of call and threatening the takedown to create openings on the feet.
Rodrigues is also well rounded and moves up a class which will make for an exciting scrap. He is a powerful striker and is a strong grappler offensively. His defence is suspect, which makes him the underdog, but his aggression gives him a great chance.
We expect this to be fiercely contested on the feet which makes Rodrigues the smart pick, but Basharat has the wrestling to change the course of the fight and his size and power should enable him to and pocket a couple of rounds with control time.
Prediction: Basharat via Decision
Value bet: Rodrigues to win
