The UFC Fight Night returns, and all eyes will be on Mandel Nallo’s against the battle-hardened Jai Herbert. Can Rat Garbage lay waste to the Black Country Banger? The better question for us is, what’s the best bet here? Find that out in our Mandel Nallo vs Jai Herbert match prediction.
Rat Garbage has taken the long road to the big show but enters with massive momentum after a five-fight winning streak. Nallo’s most recent match was a violent statement at Dana White’s Contender Series last September, where he folded Samuel Silva with a first-round knockout.
Training out of Tristar Gym, he has a reputation as a clinical finisher with twelve of his fourteen wins coming in the very first round. However, Black Country Banger is not an easy out and brings a two-inch reach advantage into this clash.
Jai Herbert is coming off a tough unanimous decision loss to Ludovit Klein last year and is desperate to snap a winless skid in his last three outings. Herbert enters as the underdog, but the 37-year-old veteran has all the right kinds of experience to swing this bout his way.
