Andre Fili, DEC
We saw in Lucas Almeida's last fight that he has a serious hole in his game, which is his takedown defense. Andre Fili is not the same level of grappler as Almeida's last opponent, Pat Sabatini, but Fili does have decent wrestling and a much better striking game than Sabatini. I expect Fili to either get takedowns and control time, or at least be able to mix in takedowns for an egde on the feet.

Alexandre Pantoja, SUB, R2
O Alexandre Pantoja é um dos atletas mais completos que conheço. Ele é muito bom em tudo! Além disso, ele é uma pessoa nota 10. Diante disso, tratando do combate, acredito que o brasileiro conseguirá uma finalização no segundo round da luta. Respeito muito o Brandon, ele é um ótimo atleta e merece muito esta disputa pelo cinturão, mas acredito em uma vitória do Alexandre.
