Every one of José Montanha's six professional wins has ended inside the distance. Louie Sutherland has been finished inside the opening round in two of his three UFC outings. Those two patterns collide on the preliminary card at UFC Fight Night on Saturday, and our José Montanha vs Louie Sutherland match prediction turns on which one holds.
Montanha finally gets his Octagon walk here, a June debut having evaporated when Jhonata Diniz withdrew. The Curitiba heavyweight is 6-1, with four submissions and two knockouts among those six victories. His single defeat came on the scorecards, so nobody has yet stopped him.
The Vanilla Gorilla comes in off the best night of his career, a unanimous decision over Tai Tuivasa in Perth in May. His two Octagon appearances before that both ended in the first round. Valter Walker took him with a heel hook in eighty-four seconds, then Brando Pericic stopped him with strikes inside two minutes.
Montanha has never needed the judges to win and has never been stopped in defeat. At six foot four he stands an inch taller than Sutherland and carries three more inches of reach. What he has not done is fight anyone at this level, which is what the debut puts at stake.

Our José Montanha vs Louie Sutherland Prediction
A finisher meets a man who has been finished. Montanha has stopped all six opponents he has beaten, four by submission, and has never been put away himself. Twice in three Octagon walks The Vanilla Gorilla has been taken out inside two minutes, once by a heel hook.
He carries power of his own, and the Tai Tuivasa win in May was a genuine result. This is a considerable step up for a debutant, but the price looks generous enough to take. Hence, our José Montanha vs Louie Sutherland match prediction is that José Montanha wins.
