Michel Pereira vs. Ihor Potieria UFC 301 Prediction
Michel Pereira (30-11-0)
The move to middleweight for Pereira has so far proved to be a wise one, as he’s picked up a pair of first-round wins over Andre Petroski and Michal Oleksiejczuk for his sixth and seventh straight wins, respectively. As a former welterweight, Pereira has maintained his speed and power with the move and appears to be a real threat at middleweight if this momentum continues.
Ihor Potieria (21-5-0)
A former light heavyweight, Potieria made the move to middleweight with his last fight, picking up a win over Robert Bryczek in the process. A natural striker, Potieria is hoping the move down will prove to be as beneficial as Pereira’s, as he comes into Saturday having lost three of his four prior fights before the move.
Michel Pereira vs. Ihor Potieria Pick
Despite the large odds in favor of Pereira, I have this fight much closer to even than the market would suggest. While I do believe Pereira has more ways to get it done, I think the relative closeness in skills between the two points to an outcome that will be decided well into the fight.
Pick: Over 1.5 Rounds (+114) at DraftKings Sportsbook
