Prediction & Pick<\/strong><\/h2>\nBelal Muhammad enters this principal event because the more experienced fighter, however the psychological weight of back-to-back title losses against elite competition can’t be ignored heading into Saturday night. Bonfim arrives on a four-fight win streak with a ending rate that makes him dangerous in each exchange.<\/p>\n
The blueprint for Belal is obvious, wrestle, grind, and smother Bonfim’s submission game before it ever gets began. If he can execute that game plan cleanly for 3 rounds, his cardio and experience should carry him to a choice.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, Bonfim only needs one scramble, one clinch exchange, or one reckless entry to finish the night early. That constant ending threat makes this fight way more dangerous for Muhammad than the oddsmakers may suggest.<\/p>\n
Belal Muhammad gets back heading in the right direction by unanimous decision, grinding out a disciplined, wrestling-heavy performance to get back within the win column, but don’t be shocked if Bonfim catches him and pulls off a shocking submission finish at UFC Vegas 118.<\/p>\n
