UFC Fight Night 201 Tournament Match
The fight will take place on February 20 in Las Vegas (Nevada, USA) at the UFC Apex complex and will become part of the main card of the UFC Fight Night 201 tournament. The estimated start of the fight is 03:00 Kyiv time. The fight will be broadcast live on Setanta Sports.
Not without a heavyweight bout in the tournament, Parker Porter (11-6) will test Alan Bodo (8-2, 1 NC).
Porter, after being knocked out by Chris Dokos in his debut fight in the UFC, won two subsequent fights. Josh Parisyan and in August Chase Sherman he confidently defeated on points.
Bodo has not yet won in the octagon and in case of defeat he has every chance of being fired from the UFC. In October 2020, the Frenchman lost in a minute and a half by stoppage with the help of ground and pound to Tom Aspinall. In July, Bodo was stopped by strikes in the second round by Rodrigo Nascimento, but the winner was later found to have banned substances in his tests, which caused the fight to be declared a no contest.
Prediction for the fight
Bodo’s forte is his boxing skills and heavy hands, while he himself does not hold a punch well. Porter has also been knocked out multiple times in his career, however, unlike his opponent, he is a more versatile fighter.
Parker is also a more experienced fighter, he will probably have an advantage on the ground, but the American fighter can be competitive on the stand. We predict that Porter, by combining work in the stand and on the ground, will take more than half of the fight into his asset and win the fight. But you can’t discount Bodo’s powerful punches.
Porter win on points
