Lazzez vs Bonfim Prediction
A victory this weekend would go a long way in getting either fighter some attention. For Mounir Lazzez, he looks to tally back-to-back UFC victories for the first time in his career following his unanimous decision win over Ange Loosa at UFC Vegas 51.
Meanwhile, Gabriel Bonfim aims to keep his perfect MMA record intact after submitting Trey Waters during . He's now 13-0 to begin his career, finishing his opponents off in every single match as he's won three by knockout and 10 by submission.
Although Lazzez has been with the UFC longer, I like what Bonfim brings to the table. He's an excellent submission artist who's only had two fights go beyond the first round. Bonfim is going to give Lazzez a lot of trouble and will get the win in his PPV debut
Lazzez vs Bonfim Best Bet
Even though I'm backing Bonfim to win, it's hard to predict how he'll win. Ten of his 13 wins (76.9%) have come by submission, but Lazzez has never been submitted in his career. Furthermore, the latter has a 71% takedown defense rate that should help keep him off the mat.
With Lazzez also going 4-1 in his last five fights, I'm playing it safe with this one by taking Bonfim outright on the moneyline.
