Alex Perez vs Su Mudaerji Prediction

FIGHT WINNER

Alex Perez

Predicted: Alex Perez by Decision

59%

Alex Perez holds a significant grappling advantage, with a strong background in wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which he can leverage against Sumudaerji's known vulnerability to submissions. While Sumudaerji is an aggressive striker with a reach advantage and is on a three-fight winning streak, his losses often come via submission. Perez has faced higher-ranked competition and despite recent inconsistencies and a history of missing weight, his last victory was a first-round TKO. If Perez can successfully close the distance and implement his grappling, he has a clear path to victory, likely via control and ground-and-pound leading to a decision or potentially a late submission against a durable opponent.

Alex Perez -140 (-140)

65%

Alex Perez is the favorite at -140, reflecting his higher ranking, more extensive experience against top-tier opponents, and his well-rounded skill set that includes dangerous grappling.

TOTAL PREDICTION

Over 2.5

60%

Both fighters have recent history of going to decision, with Sumudaerji's last three wins being unanimous decisions. While Perez has finishes on his record, his grappling-heavy style can often lead to longer fights.
