Prediction: Michel Pereira via TKO<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pereira\u2019s speed, movement, and power are just on another level here. The guy\u2019s a physical problem \u2014 he\u2019s explosive, he covers distance like a cat on a trampoline, and when he lands, it\u2019s not just a touch, it\u2019s fight-altering. Daukaus, since getting cut from the UFC, has leaned a lot heavier into his grappling, but the pace he fights at isn\u2019t the type that\u2019s going to drown Pereira. He doesn\u2019t have the chain-wrestling or suffocating top control that forces someone like Pereira to burn through the gas tank early. And here\u2019s the kicker \u2014 when Daukaus does get into those grinding grappling exchanges, he slows down. By Round 2 or 3, those entries from Daukaus start coming slower, the chin gets a little higher, and Pereira\u2019s fast-twitch explosions start landing cleaner. You mix that with Pereira\u2019s ability to dictate the range and make you miss by inches, and Daukaus is going to be walking into punishment. Unless Daukaus magically turns into a cardio wrestling machine overnight, Pereira\u2019s athleticism and fight IQ should be more than enough to pick him apart and probably put him away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
