Prediction
This is a very tough fight to predict. Tybura is the more experienced fighter, but Almeida is the more dangerous grappler. I think this fight will be decided by who is able to impose their game plan on the other. If Tybura can keep the fight standing, I think he will win. If Almeida can get Tybura to the ground, I think he will submit him.
