Martinez vs Aldo Prediction 5 May 2024

In the main event of UFC 301 on May 5th in Rio de Janeiro, Jonathan Martinez will face José Aldo, and the best prediction for the fight in the bantamweight division is posted on our website. The Brazilian former league champion will have a tough time at home, as he faces an opponent on a 6-fight winning streak. We believe that the opponents will show a quality fight, in which the strongest will win.

30-year-old American Jonathan Martinez has solidified himself in the top-15 of the bantamweight division, which is unsurprising given the fighter's recent results. "Dragon," after a loss to Davey Grant in 2021, went on a streak of 6 wins. Professionally, Jonathan has compiled a record of 19-4, with 10 of those wins in the UFC. Martinez's strongest aspect is his striking technique; thanks to good cardio and footwork, the American confidently scores points, and when necessary, can knock out his opponent.

As sad as it is for José Aldo, it must be acknowledged that the 37-year-old Brazilian is currently on a noticeable decline. The former UFC champion, who has been fighting professionally since 2004, has lost 4 times in his last 7 fights. Yes, José faced serious opponents, but "Junior" at 37 years old can no longer maintain a high pace in the octagon. However, like Martinez, Aldo is an excellent boxer, and he needs to go on the offensive from the first minutes of the fight.
