Prediction, pick for Sumudaerji vs. Kevin Borjas

By: Ryan Wohl

The second fight of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night is a 125-pound matchup between Sumudaerji vs. Kevin Borjas. Both fighters are coming off a win, having lost their previous two bouts.

Here is my best bet for this fight between Sumudaerji vs. Kevin Borjas.

Sumudaerji Moneyline (-170)

Sumudaerji enters this contest with Kevin Borjas possessing multiple advantages. He stands three inches taller (5’8″ vs. 5’5″) while having a four-inch larger standing reach (72″ vs. 68″). Borjas is an above-average striker, averaging more significant strikes per minute, but Sumudaerji is more accurate (51% vs. 44%) and is the better defensive fighter on the feet.

Borjas allows almost six significant strikes from opponents, which is glaring. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Sumudaerji is -170 with Kevin Borjas being a +150 underdog. With Sumudaerji’s size advantage and his accuracy, it will make it an uphill battle for Borjas to make a significant impact in this contest. If Sumudaerji dictates the pace of this fight, and doesn’t allow Borjas to close the distance, his winning streak has a good chance to continue.
