As it will be set up at Mexico City Arena, the Octagon Yields to Mexico City for Its first in Only over a year.
Headlining this card is a bout in the featherweight division with Yair”Pantera” Rodriguez collides with Jeremy”Lil’ Heathen” Stephens. The Mexico native, Rodriguez, is a slight -120 favorite with the Stephens.
Rodriguez was favored for example that one, in five of his last six fights, with all the only time he was an underdog over that span came when he battled Frankie Edgar. Coincidentally, since he fell at 2012 to Roberto Herrera, the only loss that Pantera has had was Edgar, a period of 10 fights. This is the first time because he made the 2018 knockout of the year in the past second we’ve seen Rodriguez.
That can be spells that Stephens has been an underdog and he passes the cage onto a slide. Lil’ Heathen was favored to Zabit Magomedsharipov in March in two direct fights before his loss and went 1-1 in those conflicts, knocking out Josh Emmett and was knocked from Jose Aldo.
Fans must expect fireworks when these two competitors step inside the Octagon since Stephens has 19 knockouts on his album although Rodriguez has won four of the 11 wins by. The 26-year-old, Rodriguez, has enormous kicks and he is crazy, long and imaginative. This creativity was with his fifth-round knockout about the Korean Zombie on full display November when he landed an upward elbow .
Meanwhile, Stephens enjoys to stalk down his opponents and seem to let his hands fly. The orthodox fighter loads on his hand and doesn’t necessarily set it but when it landshe places his competitors. Although the space shuts but waits a long time throw first or to throw his strikes which allows his enemies to circle away, but his powerful right hand is usually right behind their attacks.
Overall, this is a matchup between a kickboxer and a brawler. If Stephens would like to secure a success, find a place because of his right hand and he’ll have to corner Rodriguez. On the flip side, Pantera may find success with his mind kicks or spinning attacks.
Prediction: Jeremy Stephens (-110) through Season
