UFC Predictions
It is really easy to like Prazeres, as he has won nine of his eleven fights in the UFC, including the last seven. He is now looking to make it eight straight against Fabinski who is all about takedowns. Fabinski has won all three of his UFC fights and didn’t do much other than get a takedown and wrestle. Fabinski is the largest wrestler Prazeres has faced in his career, but Fabinski has to get Prazeres to the mat and that may not be easy. Prazeres is the more balanced fighter and has more ways to win, but he does have to be careful on the mat. I will take Prazeres to get the win in a fight that likely will go to a decision.
