A detailed breakdown examines the stylistic clash between Jack Della Maddalena and Carlos Prates, focusing on whether either fighter will move backward. Prates has dropped 11 opponents in the UFC while moving forward and relies on his left straight, while Maddalena has also built his success on forward pressure. The analysis notes that Maddalena absorbed over 50 clean straight punches against Belal Muhammad, making standing in front of Prates dangerous given the Brazilian's one-punch knockout power. Maddalena's advantages include short combination boxing and counter-striking, areas where Prates has shown vulnerability against opponents like Trevin Giles and Ian Garry. The breakdown suggests Maddalena's best strategy is to force Prates backward and overwhelm him with volume at close range. The analyst predicts Maddalena will win by decision or TKO in rounds 3-4, forcing Prates to fight moving backward and landing damage through combinations and counter-punching.
