Jose Johnson has the longest reach in the flyweight division, with a record of 16 wins and 9 losses. Although he can be intimidating with his height and reach, unfortunately, he cannot defend against takedowns, as we witnessed in his last fight against Asu Almabayev.
Felipe Bunes is also coming off a loss against Joshua Van by TKO on January 13, 2024.
Bunes is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter who has adapted quite well to the competitive mixed martial arts world. His takedown accuracy could be a major factor in this fight if he applies it from the first round.
Johnson is the favorite with odds of -205, while Bunes is the underdog with odds of +175.
For this fight, the underdog has the best opportunity to secure a victory if he pressures Johnson in every single round, just like Asu Almabayev did. Therefore, my pick is Felipe Bunes.
Nice!
