This is the first time in the UFC that Chepe is the favorite and it makes sense. He is a heavy pressure guy who an wrestle, strike and is impossible to break. This is going to sound crazy, but thats almost too easy. Yes, Chepe is winning in the UFC, but theyve been pretty close fights and Damon Jackson with the hair transplant has been the best version we've seen of him. Chepe can be taken down and Damon comes in wrestle heavy, he could have success. Chepe is going to be the pick, but be careful to not be overly exposed with him in multiple parlays.
Chepe Mariscal
Chepe Mariscal has an impressive resume with a BJJ championship, a kickboxing championship and a collegiate wrestler career. He has solid striking and is willing to engage in a fire fight. He gets takedowns when he needs them and is an absolute dog. He is coming off the controversial win over Morgan Charrier where he couldn't hang with the striking so grappled early.
Damon Jackson
Damon Jackson is a very good grappler who snatches things up in scrambles. He is willing to slug it out on his feet which he uses to set up his takedowns. He doesn't typically have much power but he does land some heavy shots and immediately look to wrestle. He has a low 35% takedown accuracy, but as his nickname woudl imply, he has solid control when he gets there. He is coming off the grapple heavy win over Alexander Hernandez where his striking loked improved, but he was dropped in the 3rd.
