Editor's Prediction
Kattar is a seasoned veteran, having weathered many storms in his career, and while many experts have written him off, we believe he won't give Garcie, who hasn't faced this level of competition in the UFC yet, an easy fight. Especially considering Steve poses no threat on the ground and will keep it standing, which benefits Kelvin's style. Given that three of Kattar's last four bouts have gone to the judges' scorecards, a bet on the total rounds going over 1.5 seems like a reasonable prediction.
