You Su-young: You-Jitsu looking to follow up debut win
You Su-young (14-3 with two no contests) picked up a unanimous decision win on his UFC debut last November as he beat Jieleyisi Baergeng UFC Fight Night 248. The Korean fighter came through the Road to UFC season 3 and is not looking back after winning on his UFC debut. The 29-year-old is a really well-rounded and highly-skilled operator who does not possess huge knockout power but enough to make his opponents wary. He will look to make a statement in his second fight in the Octagon.
AJ Cunningham: The Savage searching for first win in UFC
AJ Cunningham (11-4) comes into UFC Fight Night 254 searching for his first wimp in the Octagon after he lost on his debut last March against Ludovit Klein. That was a tough opening fight for a newcomer in the UFC as he suffered first round TKO. A now looks to bounce back and get a win under his belt in his second fight but he has been handed another tough opponent on Saturday night.
You Su-young vs AJ Cunningham Prediction
The first fight on the main card at UFC Fight Night 254 sees two relative newcomers to the UFC face off in the bantamweight division.
Both have reasonable experience that have built their careers in other promotions and it will be interesting to see how both of them fare in the Octagon.
You Su-young is the clear Favourite for this fight and it is easy to see why. Cunningham did have a tough fight on his debut but the Korean fighter looks like he is a level above.
We expect You-Jitsu to be too skilled and well-rounded for Cunningham and we expect him to get the win.
Prediction: You Su-young to win
