Saint-Denis vs Miranda Prediction
.
Winner:'Benoit Saint-Denis (93%)
Method of Victory:'Submission (43%)
This is a matchup between two submission specialists. After losing his UFC debut as a welterweight, Benoit Saint-Denis moved to the lightweight class in June, scoring a decisive submission win over Niklas Stolze. Meanwhile, Gabriel Miranda makes his debut after winning seven of his last eight fights by submission.
While Miranda has more overall experience, Saint-Denis benefits from having a few UFC fights under his belt. As solid as his opponent has looked, the "God of War" has faced tougher competition that's made him a better fighter in his young MMA career. In other words, I think that Miranda is in for a reality check when he steps into the octagon.
I'm sticking with the odds, backing Saint-Denis to win in front of his home country.
