As it will be Installed at Mexico City Arena the Octagon returns to Mexico City for Its first in just over a year.
Headlining this 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 slight favored with the Stephens.
Rodriguez was preferred in five of the last six fights, such as that one came after he fought Frankie Edgar. Coincidentally, the only loss that Pantera has had since he dropped in 2012 to Roberto Herrera was Edgar. This is actually the first time since he earned the 2018 knockout of the year in the moment against Korean Zombie in November we have seen Rodriguez.
That is spells that Stephens has been an underdog and he enters the crate onto a two-fight losing slide. Lil’ Heathen was knocked from Jose Aldo and went 1-1 in those conflicts, knocking out Josh Emmett and had been favored to Zabit Magomedsharipov at March in two straight fights before his loss.
Fans must expect fireworks as Stephens has 19 knockouts on his album while Rodriguez has won four of the 11 pro wins by T/KO as 34, when these two competitions step within the Octagon. The 26-year-old, Rodriguez, has tremendous kicks and he’s long, crazy and imaginative. This ingenuity was on full screen with his fifth-round knockout about the Korean Zombie November if he landed an upward elbow .
Meanwhile, Stephens likes to stalk down his opponents and seem to let his hands fly that is thick. The orthodox fighter loads up on his right hand and does not necessarily set it but when it landshe puts his opponents. Sometimes the distance shuts but waits a long time throw first or to really throw his attacks which allows his opponents, but his right hand is directly behind their attacks.
This is a matchup involving a heavy brawler and a imaginative kickboxer. He will have to corner Rodriguez and locate a place because of his right hand if Stephens wants to secure a victory. Pantera could find success with his thoughts kicks or spinning attacks.
Prediction: Jeremy Stephens (-110) via knockout
