Derrick Lewis vs Jonatha Diniz

Derrick Lewis

Derrick is ranked 11th. He is a boxer by base, but has a blue belt in jiu-jitsu, although we have only seen the "Black Beast" win by submission once - in 2010. Lewis was the LFC champion, and twice challenged for the UFC belt, but Daniel Cormier and Cyril Gane stopped him.

Derrick is an underdog (2.22). Due to the fact that this fighter's technique is limited only to boxing, although he sometimes swings his legs well, and besides, he is 6 years older than his opponent, his chances of winning are reduced to one successful counter-hit, however, as always. You won't have to lure Jonathon onto yourself, since he willingly goes forward, so much will depend on Lewis's timing and how successfully he will defend himself from low kicks, jumping knees and many other feints of Diniz. And this guy will always have time to charge up for a decisive hit.

Jonatha Diniz

Many may remember Jonata as the winner of the Tatneft Cup, as well as the triumphant of the Supercombat Universe tournament. He competed in kickboxing tournaments from ASV, became a champion, and showed his skills at Glory events. In MMA, he remains undefeated and has a record of 8-0 (2-0 UFC).

Diniz is the favorite (1.56). This position for a newcomer, specifically in this case, is justified, since his fighting arsenal is much wider than Derrick's. Jonata is noticeably more active, moves more, attacks more often, and both with his hands and combines them with kicks on all floors. Moreover, the Brazilian defends better from takedowns and is not so helpless on the ground. If he changes his game plan a little, and does not press furiously, but relies on working from a distance at the beginning of the fight, then he has a good chance of triumph, since he will definitely give the veteran a break.

Derrick Lewis vs Jonatha Diniz Prediction

These heavyweights have a very high percentage of early victories, they are both strikers, so you should not expect surprises in the form of a fight from one of the parties. Probably, due to the work of the legs, combination work and general freshness, Jonata will still be able to catch the clumsy Derrick. However, we all know how unpredictable and accurate Lewis can be, so we will not write him off for anything. In this case, the optimal solution would be a bet on an early end to the fight, and considering how often Diniz ate punches from Williams, it is possible that the final will take place before the equator of the fight.
