LFA 143: Lopes vs. Paiva: Prediction (Main Event)
- Bruno Lopes to win by submission
Both fighters are Brazilians, thus both will have the same home advantage. Both of them also weighed almost the same on the scales while Paiva is slightly heavier. His long break between fights will lag him behind as well. However, 24-year-old Paiva is five years younger than his opponent Bruno Lopes. His age may give him some advantage.
Meanwhile, Lopes’s biggest advantage is that he is riding a streak of ten wins. Four of those came by knockouts while four came by submission. Paiva has a record of eight wins and four losses. Three of the wins came by knockout while the other five came by submissions. Bruno Lopes will be by far the favorite one on Friday and is expected to win the bout by submission.
