Jack Madalena faces Carlos Prates in a striker-versus-striker matchup at UFC Perth. The analyst argues that while Madalena's pressure-based style could work, he lacks the footwork and leg kicks that made Ian Garry successful against Prates. Every exchange risks Madalena getting caught by Prates' devastating counters. The post notes that even Belal Muhammad landed clean on Madalena, while Prates remains dangerous until the final seconds, as Garry nearly discovered after dominating four rounds. The author predicts Prates will win, believing Madalena cannot maintain perfect defense while pressuring for 25 minutes.
