On November 13 will take place UFC 281 at Madison Square Garden. In one of the main card events, American bantamweight Frankie Edgar will fight the American bantamweight, Chris Gutierrez. The fight is planned for 02:00 UK time.
Gutierrez should just run over the veteran Edgar due to his youth and excellent BJJ skills. What can Frankie offer? A rack? Chris is an enough smart fighter and won’t fight on his own turf and will always try to take his opponent to the floor… and then he might as well go for the submission if he wants to finish the fight early.
The 41-year-old Frankie Edgar is a UFC veteran, and puncher. Good punching combinations, low wrestling, great opposition, glass jaw, and slumps in cardio near the equator of the fight. Edgar’s time is long gone, and he probably goes into fights purely for the check. For right now, Frankie Edgar is going on a two-line lose-streak. Frankie Edgar lost to Ecuadorian bantamweight Marlon Vera (by knockout) in the third round, and American bantamweight Cory Sandhagen (by knockout) in the first round. In the fight with Brazilian bantamweight Pedro “The Young Punisher” Munhoz, Frankie won by a split decision in the fifth round. In his UFC debut, Frankie twice lost to Brazilian bantamweight Jose Aldo (by unanimous decision of the judges) in the fifth round, once lost to Max “Blessed” Holloway (by unanimous decision of the judges) in the fifth round, took a victory over Charles Oliveira, Chad Mendes, BJ Penn, Cub Swanson, Gray Maynard(once ended in a draw).
Chris Gutierrez is a jitzer. Good punching combinations, purple belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, great cardio, stronghold. Gutierrez’s opposition is average, as defeats to him have come against high-level fighters Raoni Barcelos and Timur Valiev. El Guapo is going on a three-win-streak, where he defeated Mongolian bantamweight Danaa Batgerel (by knockout) in the second round, Brazilian Felipe Colares (by a split decision) in the third round, American featherweight Andre ”Mr. Highlight” Ewell (by unanimous decision of the judges) in the third round. Chris’ fight against American flyweight (by unanimous decision of the judges) in the third round ended in a draw. From March 2019 to May 2020, Chris Gutierrez debuted in octagon three times, where he took victories over Vince Morales (by knockout) in the second round, Geraldo de Freitas Jr. (by a split decision) in the third round and Ryan “Main Event” MacDonald (by unanimous decision of the judges) in the third round.
