Brad Tavares vs Jun Yong Park Prediction: Tavares won't be able to finish Park

Prediction for the UFC Vegas 98 Brad Tavares vs Jun Yong Park match which will take place on October 13th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Brad Tavares has been in the UFC since 2010, and his former opponents include some pretty big names — Lorenz Larkin, Yoel Romero, and even future champions Robert Whittaker, Israel Adesanya, and Dricus du Plessis. Tavares doesn't seem to have any particular weaknesses. He's good everywhere (although it's probably more accurate to say 'not bad'), but up to a certain point, no more.

But his career is clearly on the decline. He has only won one of his last four fights, the last of which was a knockout by Gregory Rodriguez.

We know the Korean very well. Last year, he beat Denis Tiuliulin and Albert Duraev, both by early decision. But after four wins in a row, he has stumbled, losing a split decision to Andre Muniz in his last outing.

The Korean will drag his opponent down to the ground floor and think of something there. He always does that. Sometimes, he is lucky, sometimes not, but he never changes his plan. Tavares won't be able to finish Park, and Park won't be looking for an early finish. It's not in his rules to take risks in the clinch, but on the ground, Tavares can defend himself.
