VITOR PETRINO VS MARCIN PRACHNIO LOWDOWN

Vitor Petrino (8-0) heads to Vegas with his perfect record still intact. He waltzed on to the Contender Series with five knockouts under the belt and made it six by dispatching Rodolfo Bellato (2022) in the second round. That earnt him a debut against Anton Turkalj back in March which ended up being the ‘Fight of the Night’ and walked away with a unanimous decision.

After getting sparked out in his first three UFC fights, Marcin Prachnio (16-6) is just keeping that damaged head above water. He earnt a surprising unanimous decision over Khalil Rountree (2021) and disposed of Ike Vilanueva (2021) with a beautiful body kick. He then lost a unanimous decision to Philip Lins (2022) but is back in the win column with another unanimous decision over William Knight five months ago.

VITOR PETRINO VS MARCIN PRACHNIO PREDICTION

That chin of Prachnio will be a bright red bullseye for Petrino who is a lethal striker. He is also a good offensive wrestler, but his defence leaves a lot to be desired. Thankfully for him, Prachnio prefers to stand and bang.

Understandably, the Pole is the heavy underdog however, he is a very experienced striker and underrated. There is a lot of value on him considering the odds. That said, a compromised chin vs the explosive power of Petrino means a knockout is more than likely.
