Patterson vs Ashmoz Prediction

Sam Patterson returns to his home country of England to make his UFC PPV debut. The 26-year-old has looked dominant thus far, finishing 10 of his previous 12 opponents (four by KO/TKO, five by submission). He's also coming off an impressive submission win over Vinicius Sacchelli Cenci on the Contender Series 2022.

While Yanal Ashmoz is 6-0 to begin his MMA career, he hasn't fought anyone on Patterson's level yet. Ashmoz's five career finishes show that he should be able to hold his own for the most part, but "The Future" has the striking and submission skills to make him pay for any mistakes.

Look for the English crowd's support to give Patterson the energy he needs to shut Ashmoz down.

Winner: Sam Patterson

Patterson vs Ashmoz Best Bet

For the best Patterson vs. Ashmoz bet, I'm looking at the total going over 1.5 rounds. It's a small sample size, but none of Ashmoz's previous six fights have ended in Round 1. Furthermore, only one of Patterson's last seven outings has seen a first-round finish.

In what should be a hard-hitting fight, bet on this fight making it to at least the second round.

Bet: Over 1.5 Rounds (-146)
