FIGHT WINNER

Jackson McVey

⚡75%

This middleweight bout pits two fighters in desperate need of a win to solidify their UFC roster spots. Sedriques Dumas (10-4-0, 1 NC) has more UFC experience but enters this fight on a concerning run, having been stopped in three of his last four outings, including two TKO/KO losses and one submission loss. His chin and cardio have been questioned in past performances. Jackson McVey (6-2-0) is newer to the UFC (0-2) but boasts an impressive regional record with all six of his professional wins coming by first-round stoppage (3 KO/TKO, 3 Submission). While McVey has shown a significant vulnerability to submissions in his two UFC losses, Dumas's recent struggles with striking defense and being finished by strikes make him susceptible to McVey's aggressive, heavy-handed approach. McVey's higher significant strikes landed per minute (5.87 vs 2.00) and striking accuracy (68% vs 44%) suggest he has the tools to exploit Dumas's recent striking vulnerabilities. Given Dumas's recent TKO losses and McVey's history of early finishes, McVey is likely to come out aggressively and attempt to secure a first-round knockout.
