On the night of September 10-11, as part of the UFC 279 tournament, Li Jingliang and Daniel Rodriguez will come face to face in one of the fights of the evening. On whose side will the victory be in this duel? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
Li Jingliang (China)
The Chinese athlete was glad that he was offered to meet with Ferguson and already imagined himself how he would conduct a battle with an opponent and try to achieve a victorious outcome. But at the very last moment, there were changes in the card, and now Lee will have to meet with the less well-known Rodriguez. It is worth noting that now the athlete from China is 34 years old, and in his track record he has 19 wins and 7 losses. In the last match, Jingliang was stronger in a face-to-face meeting with Muslim Salikhov.
Daniel Rodriguez (USA)
The American performed for the last time in August 2021. Then the athlete managed to dress Kevin Lee with a solution. This success allowed us to extend the series of victories to three fights. However, the American athlete's downtime was huge. He didn't actually fight for a whole year, and then there was also a very difficult opponent preparing for a fight with Ferguson. So it will not be easy for the US representative in any case. It is worth noting that during his career, Daniel was able to win 16 victories and lost the opponent twice. Moreover, he knocked out eight opponents.
Forecast
I'll take a chance and still bet on Rodriguez. The American has more impressive performance indicators in professionals, and the experience is unlikely to have gone anywhere, even if the athlete has not been in the cage for a whole year.
