The first fight of the main card is one of those fights, as 36-year-old Paul Craig takes on middleweight prospect Caio Borralho. Let’s take a closer look at both fighters, where the market is headed, and who I like to walk away from this one victorious.

Paul Craig vs. Caio Borralho UFC 301 Prediction
Paul Craig (17-7-1)
The move to middleweight for the Bear Jew proved to be a smart one last summer, winning his first fight in the division over Andre Muniz. Four months later, however, Brendan Allen got the best of him, choking him out in the third round as Craig comes into this one off of that loss.
With 1.65 submissions per 15 minutes, Craig does hold the advantage on the ground in this one, something he’d be wise to take advantage of should the opportunities present themselves.
Caio Borralho (15-1-0)
A DWCS product, Borralho picked up two wins during his time in the series, and in his first four fights officially under the banner, has won all four. Cracking the rankings with his most recent win over Abus Magomedov, Borrahlo now comes in as the division's hottest fighter, riding a 13-fight win streak that dates back to 2015.
Paul Craig vs. Caio Borralho Pick
While Craig will likely do everything in his power to get this one to the ground, the 57% takedown defense of Borralho will come into play from the start. Landing 2.73 significant strikes per minute, look for Borralho to crack early and often, and for either a Craig submission or Borralho KO to get this one done well before the final bell.
Pick: Under 1.5 Rounds (+160) at DraftKings Sportsbook
