Woodson vs Saldaña Prediction

UFC 278 Woodson-Saldaña prediction is from Tapology Fight Predictions.
Winner: Sean Woodson (93%)
Method of Victory: Decision (55%)

Sean Woodson hasn't let his first-ever loss, coming in June 2020, get the best of him. He's won back-to-back fights since that defeat, scoring a TKO win over Collin Anglin in his last outing back in November.

While Luis Saldaña is 6-1 in his last seven fights, he'll easily be outmatched in any striking battle where Woodson has the height and reach advantage. Taking into account that Woodson also has an 82% takedown defense rate, Saldaña's grapple-heavy style may not help him here.

I think the fight will go the distance, so I'm backing Woodson by decision at +135 odds here.
