I have a feeling Jiri Prochazka is gonna get caught and cracked in the chin then get starched. Dunno... It's just from Prochazka's matches he leaves himself wide open.
Choosing the strategy for this fight won't be easy for Jiri. He himself prefers striking, but will be facing someone who's (on paper) better than him in at it. I don't expect he will try to move the fight to the ground. Maybe he'll be attempting some takedowns in an effort to score some points and win rounds. But if the samurai mentality kicks in, we may see a real slug fest.
This fight has really good entertainment potential.
I can't see this fight going the distance nor Jiri taking this to a ground fight, but both will have some advantage which could play out at the end of the fight and most probably it will be over in round 2.
Jiri being active and coming out from shoulder surgery and Pereira being in his favored weight class, he can certainly just fight toe to toe with Jiri and will KO Jiri by head kick or a big swing to the chin. Or Pereira could blackout with just a straight punch being so open whenever he kicks.
