Predictions for all the UFC 313 fights on the main card are given below.
The main event is Alex Pereira vs. Magomed Ankalaev
Prediction: Alex Pereira by knockout
Pereira has been a monster in the light heavyweight division, winning his last four fights by knockout. He is so sharp and has powerful striking. The trouble that Ankalaev may bring is a factor of wrestling skills. But Pereira has the know-how to control the rhythm of the fight and land powerful blows.
Previous matches of Alex Pereira: Pereira made his first defense of his crown in April when he knocked out ex-UFC light heavyweight champ Jamahal Hill in the first round of their UFC 300 matchup. Pereira showed his power on another level when he finished Hill 3:14 in the first round of the main event of UFC 300.
And Alex Pereira efficiently scored two knockouts on Saturday night, knocking former champion Jiri Prochazka to the mat at the bell to end the first round and then sending him right back down in the opening moments of the second round with a head kick.”
Co-main event: Justin Gaethje vs. Rafael Fiziev
Prediction: Justin Gaethje by knockout
Gaethje is one of the most aggressive fighters and possesses some serious knockout power. In their first bout, he narrowly beat Rafael Fiziev by majority decision. Since then, both fighters have had some time to recover from previous losses, and Gaethje’s experience and striking may allow him to finish Fiziev off this time.
Lightweight bout: Jalin Turner vs. Ignacio Bahamondes
Prediction: Jalin Turner by submission
Turner has fought some tough opponents in his recent fights but himself has extraordinary grappling skills that can prove useful against Ignacio Bahamondes. In case he can abuse the reach advantage properly and drag the fight down to the ground, then there could be a chance for him to secure that submission.
Women’s strawweight: Amanda Lemos vs. Iasmin Lucindo
Prediction: Iasmin Lucindo by decision
Iasmin Lucindo is riding a four-fight win streak and has shown improvements in her grappling. Whereas Amanda Lemos has more experience, Lucindo is young and has momentum behind her, which may allow her to dictate the way this fight goes and win a decision.
Iasmin Lucindo is the favorite in this matchup but looks to be worth a bet to win. She has superior striking and grappling skills and has won her last four UFC fights in a row. Because of this, backing Lucindo to win will be our best bet.
Lightweight clash: King Green versus Mauricio Ruffy
Prediction: Mauricio Ruffy by legit knockout
Ruffy has caught fire in the lightweight division with some great wins of late; he should probably knock out King Green into retirement, given that this is probably the end of the line for him in the cage, thanks to the power of his striking and his ability to finish a fight.
