UFC 330: Neil Magny vs. Ramiz Brahimaj: Prediction
I predict a submission win for Brahimaj over Magny because he’s the better overall grappler. Brahimaj has won four of his five UFC fights by submission, and I think he’ll use those skills to beat Magny.
With Magny’s height, reach, and leg reach advantages, Brahimaj’s forward-pressure will come in handy to close the distance and shoot for takedowns. Once he gets a hold of his opponents and his hands are locked, he’ll surely secure the takedown.
Brahimaj’s favorite submisson is the rear-naked choke, but he can also transition to other submission techniques if Magny makes a mistake in scrambles and transitions because Magny already has seven submission defeats in his career.
