🏆 Cannonier vs Borralho Prediction
Now that you know the odds that are on offer for both fighters to win and a bit about Cannonier and Borralho, it is now time for me to give you my Cannonier vs Borralho betting tips.
The bookmakers have Borralho as the favourite to win, but I actually think that Cannonier will come out on top in this fight. While Cannonier was far from his best in his fight against Imavov, he is coming up against a fighter who is the perfect match up for him. Borralho's strong suit is his takedown ability, but Cannonier is an extremely hard man to get down to the canvas. Yes, Borralho showed in his last fight that he can fight on his feet as well, but Cannonier, unlike Craig, does not have a chin made out of glass.
There is also a cardio narrative when it comes to Borralho - whenever he fights, there always seems to be people questioning his cardio. While I believe his cardio issues are exaggerated, they do have a point. He is going to have to use a lot of energy with each takedown attempt, and this is a longer fight at 25 minutes in total. The Brazilian has been criticised in the past for not having much of a killer instinct, allowing fights to go the distance when he had ample time to finish them off.
Cannonier is the underdog, which gives us more value for money. I reckon he will be able to prevent Borralho from getting him down to the floor, and then will be able to wear him down with his hard punches and kicks. I think that the Brazilian will run out of puff towards the end of the fight, and Cannonier will pounce and get himself the win. However, I can see Borralho avoiding the knockout.
My Prediction: 🏆Jared Cannonier to Win by Decision
⚡Jared Cannonier Form
Jared Cannonier, known as the "Killa Gorilla", is lucky to be fighting in this bout. On his previous trip to the octagon, he was "knocked out" by Nassourdine Imavov, putting in one of his poorest fights in a long time. While that fight had a controversial finish as Cannonier never actually hit the canvas and did not stop defending himself, he still took a lot of damage in that fight and it was only a matter of time before he lost.
This fight against Imavov took place on the 8th of June, so Cannonier is taking a huge risk by stepping back into the octagon so quickly after having been dispatched. Luckily for him, he is going to be fighting someone who will not look to go toe-to-toe with him on their feet.
Cannonier's strength lies in the fact that he rarely ever finds himself on the canvas, is a bully when clinching, and has a lot of power in all of his shots. He will head into this fight confident of being able to prevent Borralho from taking him down, and then use his power in his legs to slowly wear the Brazilian down.
However, UFC bettors might feel less inclined to bet on him due to the nature of his defeat in his last fight and the fact that not a lot of time has passed since he took that battering. He also lost to Adesanya four fights ago, so he has not been having the best time of things when it comes to recent UFC events.
⭐ Caio Borralho Form
Borralho, also known as "The Natural", is slowly climbing the UFC ranks and has the quality to cause Cannonier a whole range of issues during their fight. He is one of the best grapplers in the sport, especially if he manages to get on top. Some criticise him for being boring to watch, but this is because his opponents cannot shake him off when he gets them to the canvas.
As mentioned above, Cannonier is rarely ground, but the Brazilian has shown in some of his recent fights that he is not just a one-trick pony. He defeated Paul Craig in his last fight with a flurry of punches, earning himself his first technical knockout since he arrived on the big UFC stage. Yes, some might argue that Craig is known for having a weak chin, but it was still an impressive feat to put him away in such style.
This win against Craig does not automatically mean that Borralho all of a sudden has the striking ability to defeat Cannonier, but it should give the Brazilian plenty of confidence heading into the fight. He will have even more confidence and swagger as he has won his last five fights, and it must be said that he has done so pretty comfortably.
