Simon&rsquo;s wrestling-heavy pressure meets Barcelos&rsquo; striking volume in a fight where relentless pace battles technical defense. This matchup features elite takedown attempts against superior defensive wrestling, with both fighters looking to solidify their positions.<\/p><p>Simon stands 5&rsquo;6&Prime; with a 69 inch reach and a 22-6 record. He showcases conservative striking at 2.93 per minute with 44% accuracy while absorbing 3.72. His striking defense sits at 61%, showing solid defensive awareness despite lower output. Simon&rsquo;s grappling dominates his approach with elite 5.01 takedowns per fight at 43% accuracy and 0.3 submission attempts. His 75% takedown defense keeps scrambles in his favor when opponents shoot.<\/p><p>Barcelos measures 5&rsquo;7&Prime; with a 67 inch reach and a<a href=\"http:\/\/ufcstats.com\/fighter-details\/b9f28e7045fdfce7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'> 20-5<\/a> record. He shows aggressive striking at 4.87 per minute with excellent 52% accuracy while absorbing 4.40. His striking defense registers at 60%, nearly matching Simon&rsquo;s. Barcelos&rsquo; grappling shows solid activity with 2.33 takedowns per fight at 33% accuracy and 0.6 submission attempts. His impressive 85% takedown defense stands as his most critical asset against Simon&rsquo;s wrestling pressure.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ricky Simon vs Raoni Barcelos Predictions And Picks<\/h2><p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/mma\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>UFC<\/a> fight breaks down to whether Barcelos&rsquo; elite takedown defense can neutralize Simon&rsquo;s relentless takedown attempts per fight, or if Simon&rsquo;s wrestling pressure overwhelms Barcelos&rsquo; defensive grappling. Barcelos holds clear advantages in striking output, making him dangerous in extended standup exchanges.<\/p><p>However, Simon&rsquo;s path to victory runs through his Merab Dvalishvili-style wrestling pressure. His 5.01 takedown attempts per fight at 43% accuracy creates constant scrambles that drain Barcelos&rsquo; energy even without completing takedowns. Simon&rsquo;s recent evolution as a striker, evidenced by his knockout of Javid Basharat, adds another dimension to his pressure. However, Barcelos still holds his own on the ground and if he can manage to stuff some takedowns, the fight will be in his favor.<\/p><p>If we bet on this fight, we are going with <strong>Raoni Barcelos to win by unanimous decision.<\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ricky Simon vs Raoni Barcelos MMA Betting Odds<\/h2><p><strong>Ricky Simon enters as the favorite at <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-prono-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-168<\/a><\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-prono-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>FanDuel<\/a>.
