Pat Sabatini Looks to Dominate in Gritty Co-Main Event at UFC Vegas 105
Hey, have you heard about this weekend's UFC Vegas 105 card? One of the biggest stories making waves right now is the co-main event featuring Pat Sabatini taking on Joanderson Brito. This is one of those fights where styles make matchups, and honestly, it’s shaping up to be a banger for MMA fans who love action-packed featherweight bouts.
Now let’s talk about the fighters. Pat Sabatini is coming in with a solid record of 19-5 in MMA and 6-2 in the UFC. He’s been a little inconsistent lately, trading wins and losses over his last five fights. But just this past fall, he bounced back strong with a slick first-round submission over Jonathan Pearce. That win reminded everyone of what Sabatini does best—his grappling. When he’s able to take control and bring the fight to the ground, he’s an absolute nightmare.

Across from him is Joanderson Brito, who's 17-4-1 with a 5-2 record in the UFC. Brito was on a five-fight win streak—all stoppages—before he took a close split-decision loss to William Gomis in Paris. He’s known for that explosive power and aggressive striking, and he’s the kind of fighter who always goes looking for a finish. But here's the catch—his aggressiveness sometimes backfires. He has a tendency to overcommit and end up in the clinch, which is exactly where someone like Sabatini thrives.
So what’s the game plan here? For Sabatini, it’s all about timing those takedowns and keeping the fight in his world—on the mat. If he can force Brito into those grappling exchanges early, the momentum could swing in his favor fast. On the other hand, Brito will be looking to land something heavy and early before Sabatini can shoot in.
The prediction from analysts leans toward Sabatini pulling off a submission by the end of Round 2. And honestly, I can see it. The smaller cage at the UFC Apex plays right into his style. Brito’s power is scary, no doubt, but if he throws wild and leaves himself open, Sabatini is going to capitalize. And with how technical his ground game is, it won’t take many opportunities for him to lock something up.
This co-main is the kind of fight that reminds us why we love MMA—two dangerous fighters with totally different skill sets colliding. Don’t blink when they walk out around 11:30 p.m. ET on Saturday night. Whether you’re team Sabatini or backing Brito’s knockout power, this one's going to be fireworks.
