Pereira vs Prochazka 2 headlines UFC 303 and it should be entertaining with both fighters being prolific strikers, averaging 5.10 significant strikes per minute with 62% accuracy and 5.75 significant strikes per minute with 56% accuracy respectively. Pereira is the better stand-up fighter only absorbing 3.65 significant strikes per minute compared to Prochazka's 5.43. However, Prochazka is not as one-sided of a fighter as he averages 0.79 takedowns per 15 minutes compared to Pereira's 0.18. In the first fight, Pereira was only taken down once and limited Prochazka by attacking his leg. This is something Prochazka has struggled defending against as he allowed his leg to get beat up again in his last fight against Aleksander Rakic. Expect Pereira to attack his leg again, setting Prochazka up for strikes later in the fight.
