Light Heavyweight: Oumar Sy vs Brendson Ribeiro prediction.
Fighter Overview:
- Oumar Sy (11-1-0, #23 UFC Light Heavyweight): Sy excels in grappling, with 3.0 takedowns per 15 minutes and strong ground control.
- Brendson Ribeiro (17-8-0, 1 NC, #28 UFC Light Heavyweight): Ribeiro’s striking power lands 4.5 per minute, but his 55% takedown defense is vulnerable.
Analysis:
Sy’s wrestling dominance and top control (over 6 minutes per fight) could neutralize Ribeiro’s striking by taking him down repeatedly.
Ribeiro’s knockout threat is real if standing, with heavy hands, but Sy’s pressure and submissions from top position overwhelm. Expect Sy to grind out control on the ground.
