Pat Sabatini vs Joanderson Brito Prediction
Pat Sabatini (19-5) is coming off a first-round submission win over Jonathan Pearce last October and he will be hoping to carry that momentum into this tough clash with Joanderson Brito.
Brito was on a five-fight tear prior to his last fight when he saw a split decision go against him in his bout with William Gomis at UFC Fight Night 243.
This is a really interesting clash of styles as Sabatini is an excellent technician while Brito is fast, frenetic and powerful. Sabatini will be looking to keep the Brazilian at bay by using his grappling to slow him down and control the fight.
Brito will be looking to overwhelm his opponent and he will be eager to test Sabatini's chin early in this fight knowing that his last two losses have seen him knocked out.
With this just being scheduled for three rounds, that may favour Sabatini and his chances of controlling Brito but the Brazilian is a dangerous fighter. We see him catching Sabatini at some stage and finding the stoppage.
Prediction: Joanderson Brito to win via KO/TKO
