Prediction & Pick<\/strong><\/h2>\nIt is a compelling stylistic clash between a rising grappling specialist and a battle-tested striker, however the edge goes to Jonathan \u201cThe Captain\u201d Micallef on Saturday night. His technical submission game and big physical frame for 170 kilos create problems that Gorimbo hasn’t consistently solved throughout his UFC tenure.<\/p>\n
Gorimbo’s striking is dangerous, and one clean shot could end the night early for any opponent. But Micallef’s game plan will likely center on taking this fight to the mat, where Gorimbo has already shown he will be finished quickly. The Vicente Luque submission loss in 52 seconds is a red flag that will not go unnoticed in Micallef’s camp. Expect \u201cThe Captain\u201d to focus on that very same grappling vulnerability from the opening round.<\/p>\n
Micallef’s momentum, youth, and submission arsenal needs to be enough to get the job done in front of what will likely be a raucous Australian crowd.<\/p>\n
