Analyst examines the welterweight bout between Jack Maddalena and Carlos Prates at UFC Perth, focusing on the central question of who will retreat. Prates has dropped 11 opponents in the UFC while moving forward, rarely backing up except briefly against Neal. Maddalena similarly built his game on forward pressure and was never seen retreating. The post notes that Maddalena absorbed over 50 clean straight punches to the head against Belal, while Prates needs only one to finish. Analyst favors Maddalena to force Prates backward, overwhelm him with strikes, and potentially earn a stoppage in rounds 3-4.
