Predictions: 13 of 13 Pending   |   Tied for 1st with 950 others

Jesus, is there a single style of combat that Lutterbach has not competed in ? His record is all over the place. 

My question about him is: Can he offensively grapple ? Cuz if he can, I don't care how much of a can crusher he is, he has a chance against Shara.

Besides shara's attention grabbin look I don't understand at all the hype that's around him. His TDD is trash and his striking doesn't wow me either.  The dude is prime to getting fraud checked the second anyone imposes a grappling heavy fight on him.

Ok so I just watched Lutterbach vs Clay Collard from PFL 2021. He scored a lot of takedowns on Collard and threatened a darce choke in r1. More takedowns in r2 and 3 with a lot of control time. Lost by split decision, arguably a robbery. 

He beat Andreas Gustaffson and scored takedowns there too.

So I don't think Shara is a lock.

If I'm not mistaken, Joilton started as a grappler (he has black belts in both Judo and BJJ).

If he fights smart here, he has all the tools to get his hand raised. My only doubt is about his condition though. He is a very active fighter, so I don't know if he's 100% to get this fight or he just needs the money. 

Anyway, I hope we get a great fight here.

Magomedov vs. Lutterbach
Joilton Lutterbach, TKO, R3
Lutterbach has been very fun to watch and honestly didn't think he'd stay contracted to one promotion like UFC because of how much he likes to be active and test himself in different arts. Shara is a very lethal but Joilton has fought that already, not saying he can outstrip Shara but he can enough to mix things up. Joilton is not afraid to switch plans to win a fight, unless he catches Joilton early, there will be takedowns.

Robert is smart and careful fighter, and Chimaev is his opposite, Borz has one of the worst fight IQ in the UFC rn, only one option to win for Chimaev is to submit  or GNP him in first 1 or 2 rounds, After that point he will get tired, he was very tired even on 3 round fight after Usman and Burns, and WHAT gonna happen after 5 rounds with one of the best strikers in the weight class. Whittaker can knockout and win by decision
