Editorial Prediction
Both fighters have a preference for finishing their bouts early, which is evident in their statistics: Brito claims victory in 88% of his fights without the need for judges' scorecards, while Sabatini does so in 74% of his matches. The American's fights haven't reached the final bell in three years, as Pat approaches each bout with a "kill or be killed" mentality. Based on this logic, we suggest betting on the under for rounds.
