UFC Fight Night 219: Andrade vs. Blanchfield is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas on February 19 at the popular UFC Apex Arena. The main card of the event will host lightweights American Jim Miller and American Alexander Hernandez against each other. Who are the favourites in this pairing and whose chances of winning are preferable? The fight is planned for 01:00 UK time.
An interesting clash awaits us, where the old and the new school will clash. Still, in terms of skill set, Jim Miller looks much more interesting. The fighter proves by his fights that he is still competitive and can stand up to young, hungry for big wins opponents. Alexander certainly can’t be called a top fighter, he has a lot of holes in his defence, and he’s also too predictable in his actions.
UFC veteran Jim Miller is 39 years old and has fought 51 fights in the octagon, in which he has 35 wins and 16 losses. ‘’A-10’’ is in great shape at his age, as he now leads a winning streak of three fights. He passed American Donald ‘’Cowboy’’ Cerrone in his most recent fight and previously put young Brazilian Nikolas ‘’Iron’’ Motta and American Erick ‘’The Ghost Pepper’’ Gonzalez out of his way.
A base jitzer who has been able to catch 19 opponents on a submission. Often, Jim attempts a touchdown and finishes an opponent in a parterre. Although his impressive boxing is also worth highlighting, as well as his strong chin.
Alexander Hernandez is 30 years old and the fighter is in poor form at the moment, as he has suffered three defeats in his last four fights. And yet he was considered a promising prospect before his 2019 fight with American Donald ‘’Cowboy’’ Cerrone, but ‘’Cowboy’’ has shown the true level of the ” The Great Ape”. To date, the athlete has 13 wins and six defeats to his credit. He had an unsuccessful fight in the welterweight division last year, trying to restart his career in that division.
Above all, the fighter prefers to work in the rack. He has impressive striking power, is physically very well developed and has some basic wrestling skills which allow him to defend well against submissions to the ground.
