Pereira vs Jiri Rematch Prediction for UFC 303
Alex Pereira made history by becoming the first fighter to hold UFC titles at both middleweight and light heavyweight when he knocked out Jiri Prochazka in the second round of their fight at UFC 295 to capture the 205lb belt.
Prochazka had won the title with an epic victory over Glover Teixeira but was unable to solve Pereira’s brutal leg kicks which severely compromised his movement before the knockout finish.
Their highly anticipated rematch is now set as the main event for UFC 303 on June 29th after Conor McGregor withdrew due to injury. Many analysts feel Prochazka needs to make adjustments to better defend the leg kicks to have a chance of regaining the title.
I really think Alex Pereira has Jiri Prochazka’s number. In their first fight, Prochazka started blazing hot, putting immense pressure on Pereira. But once those brutal leg kicks started landing, you could see Prochazka’s movement getting compromised. He was limping around, unable to cut angles or explode like he normally does.
Pereira is just a nightmare matchup with that compact power and pinpoint accuracy on his strikes.Prochazka has to make some big adjustments, there’s no doubt. He has to be much more cautious about his entries and find ways to check those leg kicks. But that’s easier said than done against a sniper like Pereira.
Jiri’s only real path to victory is to bite down on his mouthpiece, take some of those leg kicks, and try to land one of his crazy fight-ending overhands or spinning attacks. He has to put everything into one or two big moments. I wouldn’t count the Czech out at any moment of the fight though, as his style is always dangerous.
At the end of the day though, I just don’t see how Prochazka outworks the adjustments Pereira can make. The “Poatan” has shown incredible growth and evolution from fight to fight.
I think he lures Jiri into overcommitting, then cracks him with more leg pain and compact power shots. Pereira gets the finish again, probably inside two rounds, and solidifies himself as the new light heavyweight king.
Betting Pick: Pereira by KO
