Donte Johnson has shown powerful statistics with high striking accuracy and takedowns, although his experience in the UFC is still limited. Brandage has more fights and a wrestling background, but his problem lies in losing initiative. Johnson has the ability to close the distance and capitalize on his opponent's mistakes. Brandage may try to make the fight gritty, but Johnson's likelihood of winning is higher due to his speed and technicality. Prediction: Donte Johnson wins, likely by KO/TKO.
