Analysis: Carlos Prates favored over Jack Della Maddalena

A detailed breakdown predicts Carlos Prates will defeat Jack Della Maddalena in their upcoming bout. The analysis suggests Della Maddalena's style works best when he is the aggressor, but he lacks the kicking skills and footwork that Ian Garry used to control distance against Prates. While Della Maddalena may need to pressure Prates for all 25 minutes while maintaining perfect defensive discipline, the analyst believes this is unlikely. Prates has dropped opponents 11 times in the UFC while moving forward and rarely retreats. The post notes that even if Della Maddalena wins early rounds, Prates remains dangerous until the final seconds, as demonstrated when he nearly knocked out Garry in the fifth round despite losing the first four. The prediction is for Prates to win.
