As it will be set up at Mexico City Arena the Octagon returns to Mexico City for the first in just over a year.
Headlining this particular card is a bout in the featherweight division with Yair”Pantera” Rodriguez collides with Jeremy”Lil’ Heathen” Stephens. Rodriguez, the Mexico native, is now a little -120 favored with all the Stephens, coming straight back at -110.
Rodriguez has been preferred such as this one, in five of the last six fights, with the only time that he has been an underdog over that period came when he fought Frankie Edgar. Coincidentally, the only reduction that Pantera has had since he dropped to Roberto Herrera at 2012??was Edgar, a span of 10 struggles. This is the very first time because he earned the 2018 knockout of the year in the moment we have seen Rodriguez.
That is back-to-back bouts that Stephens has been an underdog and he passes the cage on a slide. Lil’ Heathen had been favored to Zabit Magomedsharipov in March in two direct fights before his reduction and went 1-1 in these struggles, knocking out Josh Emmett then was pumped out by Jose Aldo.
Fans should expect fireworks as Stephens has 19 knockouts in his record whereas Rodriguez has won four of his 11 wins by T/KO as well when these two competitions step inside the Octagon. Rodriguez, the 26-year-old, has kicks and he is long, crazy and creative. This creativity was on full display with his knockout on the Korean Zombie November when he landed an upward elbow .
Meanwhile, seem to let his hands fly that is heavy and Stephens likes to stalk down his opponents. The stunt fighter loads on his right hand also does set it but if it landshe puts his opponents in a terrible manner. Although the distance shuts but waits a very long time throw or to throw his attacks which allows his enemies to either circle away, but his strong right hand is right behind their strikes.
This is a matchup involving a imaginative kickboxer and a heavy brawler. If Stephens wants to secure a success, locate a location for his right hand and he will have to corner Rodriguez. On the other hand, success may be found by Pantera at long distance with his mind kicks or spinning attacks.
Prediction: Jeremy Stephens (-110) via knockout
