UFC Vegas 112: Sean Sharaf vs. Steven Asplund: Prediction
I predict a TKO/KO finish for Asplund against Sharaf in this showdown of heavyweight contenders, as his longer reach will be the biggest difference, especially in the early exchanges of the match.
Undoubtedly, both are heavy hitters, but I think that Asplund can land first because it’s going to be a game of inches, and it certainly counts in every exchange. This slightly longer reach will be substantial in the early stages of the fight.
Sharaf and Asplund are also forward-pressure fighters, but I think that the latter will be more aggressive on fight night because he won’t need to cover a lot of distance when throwing his punches and kicks from his advantage in physicality.
