Prediction
This matchup pits Damon Jackson’s grappling and submission skills against Chepe Mariscal’s striking and finishing power. Jackson will likely aim to take the fight to the ground, where his grappling and submission skills can be most effective. On the other hand, Mariscal will look to keep the fight standing, using his striking to secure a finish before Jackson can implement his grappling game.
If Jackson can close the distance and bring the fight to the ground, he has a strong chance of securing a submission victory. However, if Mariscal can keep the fight standing and avoid Jackson’s grappling attempts, his striking could prove too much for Jackson to handle.
