CLAYTON CARPENTER VS JUANCAMILO RONDEROS LOWDOWN
Clayton Carpenter (6-0) has sailed into the UFC after earning a unanimous decision over Edgar Chairez on the Contender Series back in August last year. That extended his unbeaten record to six which include three dubs for LFA – Manuel Medina (2020 – unanimous decision), Nick Clem (2021 – submission) and Rodney Kealohi (2021 - knockout).
Juancamilo Ronderos (4-1) welcomes him to the big leagues and he his searching for his first UFC win himself. He made his professional debut in 2019 and picked up four wins that year for the WXC promotion. After 17 months on the side lines, he got called up on short notice to fight David Dvorak (2021) at UFC Fight Night 188 and inevitably lost getting submitted in the first round.
CLAYTON CARPENTER VS JUANCAMILO RONDEROS PREDICTION
Carpenter has a bright future ahead of him and he has a good matchup here to get his UFC career up and running. He is only 26 years old but has a well-rounded skillset already. He is rapid on the feet and a good grappler.
Ronderos will hope he decides to grapple and if the fight goes to the floor, he will fancy his chances. However, we fancy Carpenter on the ground and on the feet. We expect grappling exchanges and clinch work in between some unpolished striking with Carpenter convincing the judges at least.
