Saaiman vs Mitchell Prediction

UFC 290 is filled with undefeated fighters, including Cameron Saaiman. The gifted South African combatant is 8-0 to begin his career while starting off his UFC tenure with three straight wins. The first two of those victories came via KO/TKO while the most recent was a majority decision win over Leomana Martinez four months ago.

Meanwhile, the pressure is on Terrence Mitchell in his debut. The experienced fighter is currently on an 11-fight winning streak which saw him win six times by knockout and five by submission. Still, he hasn't faced an opponent on Saaiman's level just yet.

All good things must come to an end, but I can't bring myself to doubt Saaiman. He's dominated the competition thus far, highlighted by his out-striking his first three UFC opponents by an average of 39.3 significant strikes per bout. I just don't think that Mitchell is ready for this kind of matchup.

Winner: Cameron Saaiman

Saaiman vs Mitchell Best Bet

I'm taking Cameron Saaiman winning by KO/TKO at -165 odds as the best bet. He's a lethal striker who has five knockout victories to his name, whereas Mitchell is not only inexperienced but has also been knocked out before. In a one-on-one striking duel, Saaiman clearly has the advantage.

Bet: Cameron Saaiman by KO/TKO (-165)
