Preview

 

In the Light Heavyweight division, we have a showdown between Dustin ‘The Hanyak’ Jacoby and John ‘The Hunter’ Allan. Originally, Aleska Camur was set to face Allan. However, Camur pulled out with an injury and in stepped Jacoby on less than a week's notice. The surging American is making the most of his second stint in the UFC, going 3-0-1 in four fights. With a renewed confidence, Jacoby seems destined to be a top fifteen Light Heavyweight in short order. Meanwhile, Allan makes his first appearance in 2021. The Brazilian wll seek his first UFC victory in his third try, as his debut victory was overturned due to a failed drug test. One in which cost him a year.

 

Prediction

 

Since joining the UFC in 2019, John Allan hasn’t quite had the most memorable of times. The Brazilian has fought two tough opponents, saw one win overturned due to a failed drug test that cost him a year and now has an opponent change that is significantly a harder fight for him. However, Allan gets a third shot regardless. Featuring technical striking and a Muay Thai background, Allan has shown a real knack for finishing opponents. With twelve stoppages in thirteen wins, the Brazilian has made it known that he’d rather leave the judges out of a fight. Then there is Dustin Jacoby, who has been a new man during his second UFC stint. With a kickboxing background and excellent cardio, Jacoby has either made quick work of opponents or weathered the storm and mounted a comeback. Considering Jacoby hasn’t lost since 2015, I’d say his adjustments and style have been very successful.

 

As for a prediction, I have Jacoby winning. In what I expect to be an excellent striking contest, it’s the volume and cardio that I believe give Jacoby the edge in this fight. The only concern I have for Jacoby, is if the short notice nature of the fight does hamper his cardio in any way. Then again, Allan isn’t a workhorse or doesn’t push the pace in the fight. In essence, Jacoby should be good for three rounds. So with that said, I predict that Jacoby will win this fight via decision.
