UFC Record Breakdown
Jordan Leavitt is back at featherweight and looking to build momentum after grinding out a decision over Yadier del Valle in Houston this past February. The Monkey King has been all over the place lately, bouncing between lightweight and 145, but he's found a groove with back to back wins. That anaconda choke he slapped on Kurt Holobaugh last May was nasty, finishing it in under two minutes. But here's the thing, Leavitt's grappling heavy style can be a double edged sword when he runs into someone who can match his ground game. Joanderson Brito brings serious danger to this matchup. Tubarao has been in some wars, and while he's dropped two straight decisions to Pat Sabatini and William Gomis, the dude is tough as nails.
Expect scrambles and submission attempts from the opening bell, with the first two rounds being the danger zone for a finish.
Remember when he got that doctor stoppage win over Jack Shore in Rio? That leg cut was brutal. More recently, he got submitted by Baysangur Susurkaev at UFC 328, which has people talking about his defensive grappling. But Brito can bang too. He landed 66 strikes and hit 8 of 12 takedowns against Isaac Thomson back in December. This is a classic grappler versus grappler battle where someone's getting caught.
Leavitt loves his creative submissions and has that southpaw angle working for him. Brito's more traditional but he's relentless with his pressure and volume. Both guys have been finished by submission recently, so whoever gets top position first might end this thing early. The featherweight division needs fresh blood pushing up the rankings, and a finish here puts someone on the map.
