Adrian Yanez vs Vinicius Salvador UFC Fight Night 241 preview
Yanez (16-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) and Salvador (14-6 MMA, 0-2 UFC) face off in an exciting bantamweight contest. … Yanez will try to right the ship after losing two in a row due to stoppages. After signing with the promotion through Dana White’s Contender Series, Yanez won his first five UFC fights, stopping four of those opponents. … Salvador also needs victory, in fact, he is looking for his first in the UFC. Another DWCS veteran, Salvador ended up on the wrong side of two unanimous decisions to begin his UFC run.
Expert Pick and Adrian Yanez vs Vinicius Salvador Prediction
A solid bantamweight offering is the fight between Yanez and Salvador. Both men are looking to stop the bleeding from a two-game losing skid, with Salvador moving up a division to do so.
An experienced left-footed striker, Salvador brings a ton of fancy techniques and skillful counterattacks to the table. The Brazilian fighter also has some accolades in judo and jiu-jitsu, but he mainly likes to resolve things standing up.
Yanez, who also has an underrated ground game, will likely force Salvador to his feet.
While I favor the more proven bantamweight in a shootout, it’s important to note that Yanez is 0-2 against UFC southpaws, showing some discomfort defensively and lacking a jab offensively.
I’m still going to pick Yanez to win by decision, just don’t be surprised if we end up with a competitive striking fight.
