14 of Nascimento’s 18 victories have come by submission, including his last two. Hadley hasn’t been defeated before, but we also don’t know what to expect from him in his first big fight. Hadley is a decent favorite in this one having good odds. Don’t automatically count out Nascimento getting off his string of bad luck, but the unpredictable edge goes to Hadley here.
