Dawodu vs Erosa Prediction
.
Winner:'Hakeem Dawodu (82%)
Method of Victory:'Decision (68%)
After losing his UFC debut, Hakeem Dawodu has been on a roll, winning six of his last seven fights. He'll have his hands full with Julian Erosa, who's also been successful lately, going 5-1 in his last six outings with three submission victories over that stretch.
Dawodu doesn't mind longer fights, proven by each of his last f our bouts going the distance. With his ability to avoid strikes while staying on his feet, I expect him to handle whatever Erosa throws at him. It should be a close fight in the end, which is why I'm taking Dawodu by decision at +145 odds.
