RICKY GLENN VS CHRISTOS GIAGOS LOWDOWN
Ricky Glenn (22-6-2) has struggled to live up to his potential simply due to his inactivity. He has only fought twice since 2018 and after those performances, it is a shame we have not seen more of him. He sparked out Joaquim Silva and fought to a draw with Grant Dawson in 2021 to take his UFC tally to 4-3-1.
Christos Giagos (19-10) has been slightly more active, but he keeps running into monsters. He is 4-4 in the UFC with those losses coming to Charles Oliveira (2018) on debut, Drakkar Klose, Arman Tsarukyan (2021) and Thiago Moises (2022). His last win was in 2021 when he submitted Sean Soriano to earn a ‘Performance of the Night’ but he is never going to get a streak going with his matchmaking.
RICKY GLENN VS CHRISTOS GIAGOS PREDICTION
Giagos has a much kinder match-up but this is still another very tough fight for him. They are both well-rounded and we expect to see some grappling in between high tempo striking exchanges.
On paper, Giagos has the edge in the grappling department and Glenn is the more technical striker with better defence. Glenn is the favourite and his cardio does swing this in his favour for us, but this is will be a very competitive scrap.
The value is on Giagos especially if his game plan is built around his wrestling, but we are leaning slightly towards Glenn.
