Christopher Daukaus vs Parker Porter Fight Predictions

While both fighters are big punchers with tonnes of power, it’s hard to call either one very technical. Neither fighter has the cardio to go the distance, and the fight will most likely end in the first round. Why? I simply don’t see the defense of either fighting holding up for fifteen minutes, especially when fatigue starts to kick in. With that being said, Porter’s background in grappling should give him a notable advantage, since this is mixed martial arts. Therefore, I’m going with Parker, who has the larger toolbox in this matchup.

Prediction: Parker Porter via first-round submission.
