Before Betting on Mohammed Usman vs. Thomas Petersen
The reason why our Usman vs. Petersen prediction is that the UFC on ESPN 60 opener will see a knockout is that both of these guys are great finishers. Mohammed Usman comes to Vegas with a 9-2 record and a 66.66% knockout-to-win ratio.
Usman is one of the most athletic heavyweights in the UFC, which explains his nickname “The Motor”. His athleticism translates into his fighting style, where he combines relentless striking with quick movement around the Octagon.
He will have to use those skills on July 20 to prevent Thomas Petersen from getting too close. Although he’s not as physically imposing as Usman, this guy has his own advantages. His strongest asset is wrestling, the evidence being that he lands just under 3 takedowns per fight on average, while his TD defense is 100%.
Petersen also tends to land a lot of punches and his fists are as if they’re made of steel. The evidence of this is that 7 of his 8 wins happened by KO/TKO.

Our Usman vs. Petersen pick is that Kamaru’s bro will win. Not only does he have the skillset needed to win on July 20, but he’s also probably very motivated to do so. The thing is that he’s already 35, so the UFC Vegas 94 preliminary fight could be his last chance to become a main-card staple.
We think he’s going to win this fight and he’s going to do it in a spectacular fashion. Our pick is Usman by knockout, which we also expect in a couple of other fights the same evening. To see why it might happen in the main event, make sure to read our Amanda Lemos vs. Virna Jandiroba prediction.
