vs Don'Tale Mayes lean UFC Fight Night Krylov vs Spann Predictions And Full Card Breakdown UFC Vegas 70 · February 21, 2023
He expects Mayes to get the win, likely by knockout -- a real mechanism (Sakai's chin is gone after four straight knockout losses) -- but the hedge sits on the win itself rather than just the method, which demotes per the confidence-bar rule, on top of general wager caution about a low-quality matchup.
A durability-questioned heavyweight who the analyst says once performed well but has now dropped four straight by knockout. He is probably still the better overall striker of the two, with steady output, but the chin concern is the whole story of this fight -- the analyst says outright he no longer trusts Sakai to take a shot.
