Randy Brown vs. Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos Odds, Date, How to Watch, and Predictions for UFC 302

For the 10th time in UFC history, the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, will host a terrific evening of fights, as UFC 302 has a chance to be one of the best the city has ever hosted. At the top of the card, the number one pound-for-pounder fighter on the planet looks to further cement his legacy with a win over legend Dustin Poirier. 

Before we get there, however, a pair of surging welterweights will go at it to start the main card off, as Randy Brown takes on Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos. Let’s take a closer look at where the odds are headed, a closer look at both fighters and how I like for this one to unfold.

Randy Brown vs. Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos UFC 302 Prediction

Randy Brown (18-5)

Following a knockout win over Muslim Salikhov in February, Brown has earned his way onto this card as he looks to pick up his highest-profile win to date. Having won eight of his past 10 here, a win puts him in conversations for a top 10 shot. 

Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos (24-7-1)

Zaleski dos Santos also comes into this fight red hot, having won three straight fights and 10 of his past 13. Relatively even in terms of the fight metrics, Zaleski has a slight edge in striking defense which he’ll need to fend off a lethal right hand of Brown.

Randy Brown vs. Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos Pick

Though nothing is certain, a win here by either fighter likely propels them into the first top 15 ranking of their career. For me, Brown’s slight edge on the feet should only be compounds on the ground, where he has the edge in this matchup across the board. Add in a 150% higher knockdown per 15-minute clip, and I like for Brown to do just enough to get this one done.
