Prediction
This fight will likely come down to Gomis' striking against Brito’s versatile finishing ability. Gomis will aim to keep the fight standing, using his height and reach to pepper Brito with strikes from range. On the other hand, Brito’s aggressive pressure and submission prowess could lead him to push the fight to the ground, where he may look to secure a submission or utilize ground-and-pound. While Gomis has shown resilience in his decision wins, Brito’s track record of early finishes makes him a dangerous opponent.
