Find out the answer in our prediction. The fight is planned for 23:00 UK time.
Jose’s huge anthropometric advantage is immediately apparent. He is 13 cm taller, his stance is 10 cm bigger. It is always difficult to adapt to such a tall opponent. To control the distance he will use front-kicks, knocking out his opponent’s already weak breath. He will also try to use his advantage in wrestling skills.
The 27-year-old Jose Johnson fights for the US, and has a professional record (15-7-0). He’s got a three-fight winning streak now, last time in Contender Series he defeated Englishman Jack Cartwright by unanimous decision of the judges in the third round.
It’s not the first time the fighter has taken part in Dana White’s Contender Series. In 2020 he already had an unsuccessful attempt to break into the best league in the world. He has conquered various associations: Fury FC, VFC, LFA, WXC and others.
The guy is used to applying pressure in the post, and on the ground and tends to go for a painful/suppressive hold. Usually hunts for take-downs, not forgetting to throw straight punches to close in. His knockout power is enough to put the lights out with a single hit.
Missouri fighter Garrett Armfield is 26 years old and his record includes eight wins and three losses. He began competing in professional MMA in 2018. Has gone through a number of second-rate organizations such as FAC, Shamrock FC, CFFC, LFA and others. He made his UFC debut in July 2022, where he suffered an early defeat to American David ‘’The Silent Assassin’’ Onama after being caught by a chokehold (arm triangle chokehold) in the second round.
The fighter relies on striking technique, using a Taekwondo base. He has a creative striking but lacks proper grappling skills and is often hampered by functional readiness.
