Jafel Filho vs Clayton Carpenter isn&rsquo;t the main event, but don&rsquo;t let that fool you. This prelim battle features two grapplers who love nothing more than dragging fights to the mat. Both men are hungry to climb the rankings in a division that&rsquo;s wide open right now.<\/p><p>The flyweight scene has been wild lately, with several fighters trading wins and losses. Filho knows the pressure is on fighting in front of his home crowd in Brazil. Carpenter, meanwhile, is desperate to bounce back after tasting defeat for the first time in his <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/mma\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>UFC<\/a> career. These circumstances make for a compelling matchup between two athletes with everything to prove!<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jafel Filho vs Clayton Carpenter Preview<\/h2><p>Jafel Filho brings a 16-4 record and stands 5&rsquo;7&Prime; with a 68 inch reach. His striking output sits at 1.92 significant strikes per minute. He&rsquo;s a submission wizard who averages 2.1 submission attempts per 15 minutes. Eight of his career victories have come via rear naked choke, and he&rsquo;s got slick Brazilian jiu-jitsu that can catch anyone sleeping. His takedown average of 2.45 per 15 minutes shows he&rsquo;s comfortable initiating the grappling exchanges. But his takedown defense sits at just 66 percent, which Carpenter will definitely try to exploit.<\/p><p>Clayton Carpenter comes in at <a href=\"http:\/\/ufcstats.com\/fighter-details\/b62d5280966b2460\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>8-1<\/a>, standing at 5&rsquo;6&Prime; with a 66 inch reach. His striking is more active than Filho&rsquo;s, landing 3.91 significant strikes per minute with better accuracy at 55 percent. Carpenter&rsquo;s wrestling credentials are legitimate, posting 2.23 takedowns per 15 minutes with 46 percent accuracy. However, his takedown defense is a glaring weakness at only 42 percent. Carpenter averages 1.5 submission attempts per fight, so he&rsquo;s not afraid to hunt for finishes himself.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jafel Filho vs Clayton Carpenter MMA Betting Odds&nbsp;<\/h2><p>The oddsmakers have this fight incredibly close, which makes sense given the stylistic matchup.

Carpenter has the wrestling to take Filho down, but those takedowns come with risk. Filho is very skillful off his back, always hunting for submissions during scrambles. One mistake from Carpenter could mean lights out. The American&rsquo;s questionable takedown defense is another red flag against someone who averages over two takedowns per fight.<\/p><p>However, Carpenter&rsquo;s top control and positional awareness give him a path to victory.
