Analyst previews Jack Della Maddalena vs. Carlos Prates stylistic matchup

An in-depth breakdown of the upcoming bout between Jack Della Maddalena and Carlos Prates analyzes the stylistic challenges each fighter presents. The analysis suggests Maddalena's style works best as an aggressor, while Prates struggles when pressured and forced to retreat. However, Maddalena lacks the kicking and footwork skills that allowed Ian Garry to control distance against Prates. The post notes that every exchange carries knockout risk for Maddalena, as Prates dropped opponents 11 times in the UFC. Maddalena's best path to victory would require 25 minutes of pressure with perfect defensive discipline, which the analyst doubts is sustainable. The prediction favors Prates to win.
