Caio Machado Analysis: Kicking Accuracy with Striking Defense
The forever aggressive Machado will look to try to use his accuracy and speed to back Ribeiro up. His 6.07 significant strikes per minute and solid 58% striking accuracy would suggest that when Machado does let his hands go, he connects fairly well. The problem is, against Don’Tale Mayes in his last outing, Machado found himself struggling to take advantage of his successful output despite landing 77 of his 160 total strikes.
- His defense, though, remains one of his best suits, with a 63% strike deflection rate that will no doubt be crucial against Ribeiro’s reach advantage.
- Where Machado may fall well short is in the grappling department. Competent in defending takedowns, with an 82% defense rate, his own takedown success rate comes in at just 15%. This could limit his ability to control Ribeiro on the ground if the fight goes there. It will be exciting to see how Machado as favorite will hold against Ribeiro’s reach in this next UFC fight.
Brendson Ribeiro Analysis: Reach and Grappling Potential
Underdog Ribeiro does hold a number of key advantages heading into this fight. His 81 inch reach, along with his height advantage, could see him able to keep Machado at distance and tag him with significant strikes. Although his volume comes in a bit lower at 3.08 significant strikes per minute, the 46% striking accuracy of Ribeiro would indicate that he can be a bit more selective with his shots and still be effective.
- Defensively, Ribeiro is less effective, deflecting 49% of the strikes that come his way, so he’ll have to be careful when up against the high volume of Machado.
- One of the many great points about Ribeiro is his grappling skillset. He lands takedowns at a 50% completion rate, which could allow him to capitalize on Machado’s lesser ground control and force the bout into a wrestling match.
