Jordan Leavitt vs. Joanderson Brito Pick, Prediction and Bets

LEAVITT VS BRITO

I am a Jordan Leavitt hater and unfortunately for me, this dude has rattled off a few wins in a row. The good news is, I'm pretty sure we are going to get back on track here. Joanderson is one of the most dangerous guys in this weight class both on the feet and on the ground. Jordan definitely can't hang in the striking and I don't think his wrestling will be good enough to dominate Joanderson the way Pat Sabatini did and before you point to Jordan's last fight as some sort of declaration that he can wrestle, let me remind you that everyone was screaming that Yadier is a bum loser. Joanderson is the pick, but I do worry a bit about the takedown defense.

Jordan Leavitt

Jordan Leavitt is an old school grappler. He's very one dimensional with sub par striking and wrestling. His striking is so unorthodox though that is can confuse some people. The problem with Jordan is that because his striking isn't a real threat, he can't use it to set up takedowns and because his wrestling is less than ok at 30% accuracy, he needs perfect setups or to catch something on the way in and thats exactly what he did in his last fight against Yadier Delvalle in his 145lb debut.

Joanderson Brito

Joanderson Brito is a fast and athletic grappler with solid top pressure and a wide array of submissions. His striking isn't very technical but he will come forward and throw bombs. Big wide punches and heavy kicks with almost no regard for what comes back his way. But even though he is comfortable striking, he will look to get it to the ground and work from there. He averages almost 3 takedowns per fight but he can be taken down if you pressure him. He is coming off the decision win over UFC newcomer Isaac Thomson where he had 8 takedowns.
