There is a sneaky good matchup on the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night this Saturday. It takes place in the featherweight division. Jordan Leavitt (13-3-0) will take on Joanderson Brito (18-5-1) in a fight that will show a clash of styles. Brito is a striker by nature, and Leavitt likes to get things on the ground.
Jordan Leavitt is looking to win his 3rd fight in a row for the 1st time in his UFC career. He won 6 straight fights before his shot on Dana White’s Contender Series, but has since lost in his 2 other times that he was in this position. He has won 5 of his last 7 fights, and his 2 losses are nothing to sneeze at. Both Paddy Pimblett and Chase Hooper were able to pick up submission victories over him. Both of those fighters are of a higher class than both Leavitt and Brito.
Brito has lost 2 of his last 3 fights. Pat Sabatini and William Gomis picked up decision victories over Brito. However, he was able to bounce back and picked up a unanimous decision win over Isaac Thomson back in December of last year in his last fight. Leavitt is a tricky matchup for any opponent, and that will certainly be the case here for Brito.

Our Jordan Leavitt vs Joanderson Brito Prediction
Leavitt is a decent underdog here against Brito, and we believe that is valuable here. His only losses over the recent stretch have been to opponents that would likely defeat Brito in a similar fashion that they defeated Leavitt. We will roll the dice here on Leavitt and fade Brito, who has not been fighting at his best over his last 3 fights. Taking Leavitt by submission could be worth a sprinkle, but we like the full value on the money line.
