Premium Pick

A pair of sound defensive fighters square off in this fight. Jack Hermansson absorbs just 2.56 strikes per minute and his takedown defense is a strong 77%. On offense, his takedown accuracy is only 36%. Two bouts ago he went the five full rounds against Ronaldo Souza, getting a win via unanimous decision. Hermansson relies heavily on submissions and getting opponents on the ground, but he faces Kelvin Gastelum, a guy whose striking defense is 59% and takedown defense is 62.9%. On offense, Gastelum's averages just 0.8 takedowns per every 15 minutes at a below-average accuracy of 35%. Seven of his last nine fights have gone the distance, including two that went the five full rounds. Look for this battle of strong defensive fighters to go a while. Play the OVER here.
