Tim Means vs Laureano Staropoli Tips & Fight Predictions
Tim Means
36-year old Tim Means (29-12-1-1) makes his twenty-second walk for the UFC this weekend. This guy has three and a half hours of UFC fight experience in the tank. Means is primarily a striker and has career nineteen knockouts combined from his pro-career, along with five submissions and decisions.
Tim is a big welterweight, standing 6’2” tall with a reach of 75”. He lands 4.87 significant strikes every minute on average.
Laureano Staropoli
‘Pepi’ is 9-2 in his MMA career. In three UFC fights, he is 2-1, losing his last fight via unanimous decision against the tough Muslim Salikhov. The Argentine is mostly a striker with good boxing.
Staropoli is 27-years old and 6’1” tall. He surrenders 4” in reach to his American opponent.
Means v Staropoli Fight Prediction
While Staropoli has the age and possibly momentum on his side, he is down on experience in this matchup. Means has had four times as many professional fights as Staropoli and has fought in the UFC for most of his life. Staropoli is younger and fresher but hasn’t been able to find that knockout in the UFC yet, despite initially carrying a 100% finish rate into the organization when being signed in 2018. Means definitely has some chin issues at this point in his career, but Staropoli’s striking accuracy of 31% and negative strike differential are big factors for Tim Means. Tim takes this due to experience and due to having more efficient striking.
Prediction: Tim Means (2.10) via split-decision.
