Markus Perez vs Dricus Du Plessis 10/10/20 – UFC Fight Night Picks & Predictions
Dricus Du Plessis is coming to the fight here standing at 6’0” and 185 pounds. He does have a fairly decent reach that is coming in at 76 inches. The record that is coming into the fight here for Du Plessis is seen as a really good mark at 14-2.
Driscus is just now coming to UFC and the big scream to fame that he has is the destruction fight he had of Brendan Lesar in the last bout which was a win. In the past 5 bouts he has went 4-1. The wins have been by 2 submission wins, 2 TKO/KO wins, but also the loss was by a TKO/KO.
Perez is coming to the match here standing at 6’1” and 185 pounds. With the reach he is coming in at 73 inches so far and has looked impressive at times. The record that Perez has is sitting at 12-3 on the year.
Coming to the fight here Perez has been seen as an orthodox type of fighter and tends to gravitate to the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighting style. In his last 5 bouts Perez has ended up getting a 2-3 mark. The losses have all come from unanimous decision losses, but the 2 wins have both been by submission wins.
This fight here will actually be interesting as Driscus is just coming to the UFC in this fight. However, Perez is one fighter that has performed well and would like to pull off the win. I think in this fight, though, the way that Du Plessis has fought it will be hard to go against him in his UFC debut and that leads to me picking Drisucs to win with his better submission techniques. UFC Fight Night Winner Dricus Du Plessis.
