Hunter Azure vs Brian Kelleher – UFC Fight Night 5/13/20 Pick & Prediction

UFCThe featherweight bout is coming in the prelims here is going to feature what is shaping up to be a great fighter in Hunter Azure facing off against Brian Kelleher who seems to have been a fighter that has been around for some time, but has not really managed to get the push that he needs to come into the main card on a very consistent basis in his career, but for his weight class he has not looked that bad at all.

Azure has managed get his wins with an orthodox style of stance, but he has not really come out to show any consistent fighting style. The last three bouts that Azure has been involved in have all come out as unanimous wins in what have to be dominating fashions in the wins. In fact, in 4 out of the last 5 wins they have all come as a unanimous decision with only one of his last 5 being a win by a TKO. Hunter Azure is coming into the bout with an 8-0 record and is sitting at 3-0 on the TKO record and is 1-0 in the submission fights.

Now, Brian Kelleher is heading into the fight with a different type of stance that could make it difficult to really pin down as he uses more of a switch style of fighting stance. However, his style is well know after 30 matches and he tends to use the Brazilin Jiu-Jitsu fighting style. The last battle for Kelleher was a win by submission over Ode Osbourne. The downside is the two matches before the recent win ended up as losses for Kelleher. The win, though, allowed Kelleher to improve to a 20-10 record, but has a 7-1 record in a TKO/KO record and when it comes to the submission battle has a 9-6 record.

Hunter Azure is coming into the fight here standing at 5’8” and weighs in at 145 pounds. When it comes to the reach Azure has ended up getting a reach that is sitting at 69 inches. Brian Kelleher is standing at 5’6” and weighs at 145 pounds, but also has a shorter reach that is sitting at 66 inches. So that could have an impact on the way the fight is going to pan out here.

Hunter Azure vs Brian Kelleher – Hunter Azure

The fight here is going to pit the veteran Kelleher against Azure. However, the fight will be one that is going to really tip in favor of Azure. That comes from the fact that Azure is able to combine multiple styles and will keep Kelleher guessing. Not to mention with the way that Hunter Azure has ended up fighting it will be easy for Azure to come in and win this bout after taking it to the length.
