TAKASHI SATO VS THEMBA GORIMBO PREDICTION

This is a really tough bout to call as Takashi Sato (16-6-0) takes on Themba Gorimbo (10-4-0) at UFC Fight Night 224. It has been a poor run for the man from Japan, losing his last three bouts with Bryan Battle prevailing in his most recent contest. For Gorimbo, he has lost two of his last three with AJ Fletcher choking him out in his latest encounter. Both have shown the ability to stop fights early but Gorimbo’s quality on the mat could prove to be pivotal here and with 50% of Sato’s losses coming by submission with a further 33% by KO/TKO, Gorimbo has the ability to stop this one early.

Prediction: Themba Gorimbo to win by KO, TKO, DQ or submission
