ISAAC DULGARIAN VS BRENDON MAROTTE LOWDOWN
Isaac Dulgarian (6-1) is coming off the first loss of his professional MMA career after a split decision went against him in the Christian Rodriguez fight at UFC Fight Night 239 in March. Prior to that, he was riding a six-fight win streak with all of them coming via first-round stoppages. He is an exciting fighter to watch and he will want to get back to those destructive ways here.
He meets Brendon Marotte who is 8-2 and hails from New Hampshire. Nicknamed ‘The Kid’, Marotte had a setback on his UFC debut as he suffered a TKO at the hands of Terrance McKinney last October.
ISAAC DULGARIAN VS BRENDON MAROTTE PREDICTION
Brendon Marotte is going to have to show his character after suffering his first-ever pro TKO loss last time out and he faces a tough opponent in Isaac Dulgarian. It is almost a year since that loss so the time out will likely have helped him but he is going to have to overcome any rust quickly.
Dulgarian is a threat both standing and on the ground and he is a fighter who is looking for the stoppage right from the start. He is speaking confidently coming into this event and it is hard to see anything other than a dominant with for the 28-year-old. There is little value on him straight up to win, but add him to an accumulator or take him to get the stoppage.
PREDICTION: Isaac Dulgarian to win by KO/TKO or submission
