Mullarkey vs Prado Prediction

Jamie Mullarkey has turned things around following an 0-2 start to his UFC tenure. The 28-year-old Australian fighter has won three of his last four fights (including two knockout victories) and is coming off a split-decision win over Michael Johnson at UFC Vegas 58.

Standing in the opposite corner is Francisco Prado, who's set to make his UFC debut. The Argentinian striker is undefeated in his MMA career, finishing off his opponents in all 11 fights (five by KO/TKO, six by submission). Having said that, winning here won't be easy.

On top of having more experience, Mullarkey also has two-inch height and three-inch reach advantages over Prado. Mullarkey even has some solid finishing ability of his own and should be able to match Prado blow-for-blow.

With the rowdy Australian crowd also on his side, Mullarkey has what it takes to walk out of RAC Arena with the victory.

Winner: Jamie Mullarkey
