Nathan Fletcher vs Caolan Loughran Prediction
We have a really interesting bout second on the prelims UFC London with Liverpool's Nathan Fletcher taking on Irishman Caolan Loughran in the bantamweight division.
It is Loughran who has the edge in experience and the Octagon at the very least but he has lost two of his three fights and his limitations have been exposed. The 28-year-old is able to set a formidable pace but can be a little one dimensional.
Where this fight becomes very interesting and it will be interesting to see how Nathan Fletcher can counter the threat that Loughran poses. The Scouser is an excellent technician with good wrestling and outstanding submission skills. He will be keen to stay out of range but he will fancy his chances of controlling this fight.
We expect Fletcher to get the win hit by submission on the judges’ scorecards.
Prediction: Nathan Fletcher to win by submission or decison
