Dustin Jacoby vs. Julius Walker Pick, Predictions and Bets

JACOBY VS WALKER

Dustin was supposed to fight Jimmy Crute at UFC 325 but now finds himself on an Apex card. While he is not getting a free trip down under, he will be leaving Las Vegas with a win bonus and potentially a finish bonus. Dustin is light years ahead of Julias Walker. He is the better striker, the better MMA fighter, the more experience of the two as well. Julius is longer, younger and maybe faster, but not better. This is an easy Dustin pick for me.

Dustin Jacoby

Dustin Jacoby is a high level kickboxer who during his kickboxing stint was ranked 2nd in the world. He does a great job keeping things technical and working your legs. He is technically sound with good power and volume. He has 62% takedown defense but that number is understated and does a great job making you pay on the way in. He is coming off the KO win over Bruno Lopes back in May

Julius Walker

Julius Walker has only been fighting professionally for a little over 2 years and t shows. He can end up in bad positions at times and is then forced to rely on athleticism to get through. He is definitely flashy and has some power. There are some holes in his takedown defense, but he is defensively sound enough to avoid easy submissions. He has solid offensive BJJ and is very capable of finding something in a scramble. He is coming off the decision win over Raffael Cerquirea where he was sloppy and death gassed, but did have 6 takedowns.
