Match Preview
In the preliminary card of UFC 301, on May 5th, Ismael Bonfim and Vince Pichel will meet, for which we have selected the optimal prediction. The Brazilian is 13 years younger, which is a good advantage even for the lightweight division. But 41-year-old Vince is quite experienced by the promotion's standards: 10 fights in the UFC for the American versus two for Ismael. Below, we will determine whose advantage is more significant and what is the better bet in this pair.
By the age of 28, Ismael Bonfim can boast a solid professional career. The Brazilian has a record of 19-4 (1-1 in the UFC), and experience in Jungle Fight and LFA leagues. The fighter, nicknamed "Marreta," has excellent stand-up work, with great kickboxing training. A large part of Bonfim's professional wins came by KO/TKO.
The highly experienced Vince Pichel needs no further introduction. The 41-year-old American has fought in professional MMA 17 times (14-3), but 10 of those were at the top level – in the UFC. Unlike his opponent, Vince does not stand out for his aggressiveness in the octagon. However, the former participant of The Ultimate Fighter smartly distributes his energy throughout the distance. And even by taking it to a decision, Pichel has secured a good record even in the UFC (7 wins with 3 losses).
The young and knockout-ready Bonfim against the calculating Pichel – this matchup is definitely going to be interesting. Yes, the American's cardio and speed are not what they used to be, but his intelligent fight game plans can pose certain challenges for Ismael. Considering Vince's decent defense, we believe the best bet on the fight is:
Bet on Match Ismael Bonfim vs Vinc Pichel: Total Over(1.5)
Odds: 1.48*
