Prediction
I don’t think either guy is UFC-level yet but that doesn’t mean this fight is easy to predict. Parrin doesn’t have many flaws but it’s about matchups and Joseph could be a bad fight for Parrin. Joseph is much quicker, explosive, and the stronger guy. I predict Joseph to have a good round one but gas out, leading to Parrin taking over in the later rounds.
