UFC Vegas 114: Ion Cutelaba vs. Oumar Sy: Prediction

With the power and accuracy of Sy, I predict a TKO/KO finish for him over Cutelaba. The French MMA rising star will also hold the height, reach, and leg reach advantages, which will be crucial in striking exchanges.

Apart from the punching power of Sy, he’s also a threat in the grappling department because he perfectly times the level-change against his opponents to mix up his attack. Once he secures a takedown against his opponent, he breaks them with ground-and-pound strikes.

Even if he doesn’t get the TKO/KO finish, Sy also has the edge in grappling, where he overpowers his opponents with brute strength and sneaky submissions. Cutelaba’s only advantage against Sy is his experience of fighting several other top contenders in the division.
