Walker vs Cutelaba Prediction

UFC 279 Walker-Cutelaba prediction is from Tapology Fight Predictions.
Winner: Ion Cutelaba (58%)
Method of Victory: KO/TKO (83%)

This matchup is a bout between two fighters with striking power who are both on skids. Johnny Walker is 1-4 in his last five fights, suffering a pair of knockout losses over that stretch. Ion Cutelaba hasn't fared better, going 1-3-1 in his last five outings, also suffering a pair of KO/TKO losses.

At the end of the day, I like Walker's chances of winning more. He's the more accurate fighter and also has the height (6'6" vs. 6'1") and reach (82" vs. 75") advantages over his opponent, so he should be able to keep Cutelaba away until he's ready to deal some damage.

Give me Walker outright at +152 on the moneyline.
