UFC Vegas 51: Pat Sabatini vs TJ Laramie Fight Breakdown and Prediction
Pat Sabatini who made his debut in the UFC in 2021 is a huge prospect in the 145-pound division. The featherweight contender is yet to be defeated in his three UFC fights. Hence It is needless to say that he would try his best to carry on the momentum and get his fourth straight win in the division.
Meanwhile, TJ Laramie made his entry in the UFC by earning a contract with a win in the DWCS series. However, his career is in desperate need of a kickstart as he has been unable to compete due to some unfortunate injuries since his debut fight in 2020.
Getting to the breakdown, Pat Sabatini relies heavily on his wrestling and is extremely dangerous on the ground with his submissions. Moreover, he has finished ten of his fights via submission which makes him a big threat if he manages to get into a good position.

On the contrary, The Truth is a well rounded fighter who has good ground game and great knockout power.
However, he would face some problems on the ground as Sabatini is more of a threat and will most likely try to take the fight to the ground and try to submit him. Because Laramie suffered his debut loss due to poor takedown defense. Therefore one can expect Pat to get his hands raised by the referee at UFC Fight Night: Luque vs Muhamad.
