UFC Fight Night 111: Holly Holm vs Bethe Correia, Preview and Predictions

#4 Tarec Saffiedine vs Rafael Dos Anjos

Dos Anjos’ pace could prove to be tricky for Saffiedine

I never thought I’d be writing about this, but the fight game is as unpredictable as a pet alligator and here we are in 2017 talking about the man whom we’d touted to be the Lightweight king who’ll reign for a long time at 155.

Tarec is by no means an easy welcome fight to 170 pounds for RDA. Saffiedine is an excellent kickboxer with the only knock on him being that he doesn’t possess finishing power in his strikes.

Dos Anjos seemed to have recovered well from his LW title loss to Eddie Alvarez, and went toe-to-toe with the Boogeyman at Lightweight, Tony Ferguson.

Dos Anjos ended up on the wrong side of the decision handed down by the judges in the Ferguson fight, but I truly believe RDA will overwhelm Tarec with the ridiculous pace and unbridled aggression that made him the terror that he once was at Lightweight.

With the slight grappling edge going to RDA, I see him outpointing Tarec to a clear-cut decision win.

Prediction: Rafael Dos Anjos def. Tarec Saffiedine via decision.
