Pat Sabatini (19-5-0) will take on Joanderson Brito (17-4-1) in a UFC Co-Main Event clash on Saturday night in Las Vegas, United States. Sabatini will be looking to make it two wins on the bounce after defeating Jonathan Pearce in October last year. The American displayed his grappling prowess in that matchup after getting behind Pearce to win via a rear-naked choke in the first round. This win helped Sabatini rebound from his loss against Diego Lopes in November last year.
Brito, on the other hand, was unfortunate to lose to William Gomis in November last year via a split decision. Many viewers disagreed with the decision to award Gomis the win after Brito showed high aggressiveness, especially in the first half of the fight. On Saturday, the explosive Brazilian will have a chance to recover from the loss and continue his impressive UFC record. Before the loss, “Tubarao” had won his last five assignments.

Our Pat Sabatini vs Joanderson Brito Prediction
Both fighters are hungry for success, so expect explosive exchanges. Sabatini has looked vulnerable lately, losing two of his last four fights via KO/TKO punches. He’s not the best striker in the game, landing an average of 1.94 significant strikes per minute. That’s a weakness Brito could exploit, with the Brazilian fighter averaging 3.02 significant strikes per minute. However, Sabatini will want to take this fight to the floor and finish up Brito. He has an impressive takedown average of 3.97 every 15 minutes. We expect him to bag a win once this fight goes to the floor. Our prediction for Pat Sabatini vs Joanderson Brito: Under 2.5 rounds.
