UFC Seattle: Marcin Tybura vs. Tyrell Fortune: Prediction
With the power, accuracy, and speed of Fortune, I predict a TKO/KO victory for him. Although he hasn’t fought inside the octagon, his experience competing in Bellator and the PFL will be enough for him not to fade under the bright lights of the UFC.
Also, Tybura is now 40 years old and Father Time has caught up with him. This opens more opportunity for Fortune, especially when he fires his signature one-two punch combination.
Even if Tybura chooses the grappling route, I think Fortune’s takedown defense and wrestling will be enough to stop the attempts, reversing the position to his advantage to rain down ground-and-pound strikes and even threaten submission techniques.
