UFC Fight Night 121: Werdum vs Tybura (Preview & Predictions)

#4 Jake Matthews vs Bojan Velickovic

Jake Matthews is a blue-chip prospect

Jake Matthews came in as a highly-touted prospect in the UFC but has hit a few roadblocks, so to speak.

Matthews is the better fighter in this matchup, and come fight night, it’ll show. He’s likely to engage in a rapid-fire Round 1 as he always does, before mixing in a healthy share of takedowns; running away with the victory on the scorecards.

Prediction: Jake Matthews def. Bojan Velickovic via Decision

#5 Elias Theodorou vs Dan Kelly

Dan Kelly got brutally knocked out by Derek Brunson.

However, Elias is no Brunson when it comes to KO power. What he is though, is an extremely gifted athletic specimen, much like Brunson. Elias is likely to dominate Kelly on the feet en route to a clear-cut decision win.

Prediction: Elias Theodorou def. Dan Kelly via Decision

#6 Alexander Volkanovski vs Shane Young

Volkanovski is an explosive athlete and a very dangerous threat—both on the feet as well as the mat.

One can expect him to absolutely trounce Young in what appears to be a horrible mismatch. Volkanovski is likely to catch Young at boxing range, before following up with ground strikes for the finish.

Prediction: Alexander Volkanovski def. Shane Young via KO
