Prediction: David Martinez via TKO<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martinez is an intense, aggressive fighter who throws every strike with the intent to hurt his opponent. Oliveira shares a similar style in that he also looks to damage his opponent with every strike, but the difference is that he lacks the cardio to sustain the pace he sets. That makes this a dangerous fight for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martinez\u2019s leg kicks, forward pressure and power will force Oliveira into uncomfortable exchanges where he can\u2019t dictate the fight at his preferred pace. Once Martinez starts landing clean shots, Oliveira\u2019s tendency to fade will be exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another major flaw in Oliveira\u2019s game is his reaction to adversity. When he gets hurt, he doesn\u2019t respond well\u2014he often shies away from exchanges rather than digging deep and fighting through the damage. Against an opponent like Martinez, who is relentless and won\u2019t give him time to recover, that\u2019s a recipe for disaster. Once Martinez senses that Oliveira is hurt, he will pour on the pressure and likely find the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Martinez\u2019s aggression, power, and ability to maintain a high pace, Oliveira simply won\u2019t have the tools to keep up. Given Oliveira\u2019s history of fading and his poor reaction to taking damage, this is a fight where Martinez should get the finish without much resistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
