Dawodu vs Erosa Prediction

UFC 279 Dawodu-Erosa prediction is from Tapology Fight Predictions.
Winner: Hakeem Dawodu (82%)
Method of Victory: Decision (68%)

After losing his UFC debut, Hakeem Dawodu has been on a roll, winning six of his last seven fights. He'll have his hands full with Julian Erosa, who's also been successful lately, going 5-1 in his last six outings with three submission victories over that stretch.

Dawodu doesn't mind longer fights, proven by each of his last four bouts going the distance. With his ability to avoid strikes while staying on his feet, I expect him to handle whatever Erosa throws at him. It should be a close fight in the end, which is why I'm taking Dawodu by decision at +145 odds.
