Bill Algeo Betting Preview

Algeo returns to the octagon after a second round rear naked choke submission win against T.J. Brown at UFC on ESPN 44 in April of this year. This put him back on track after a split decision defeat to Andre Fiki in the fight before, and improved his UFC record to 4-3.

It is worth noting that he secured two of those wins with lightning-fast first-round victories, while five of his seven losses came via decision.

"Senor Perfecto" showcases a striking accuracy of 54 percent, although his takedown success rate, while commendable, sits at a slightly lower 43 percent. In the realm of offense, he excels with an average of 5.93 significant strikes landed per minute, and he absorbs a respectable 4.32, showcasing a commendable margin.

On the defensive front, he skillfully wards off 47 percent of significant strikes aimed at him and maintains a 55 percent takedown defense rate. In addition, he averages 0.87 takedowns and 0.14 submissions per 15 minutes of intense action.

Hernandez has also been streaky in the UFC, going 6-5 in the promotion. He is coming off of a unanimous decision win against Jim Miller back at UFC Fight Night 219 in February of this year.

The “Great Ape” strikes with an accuracy of 41 percent and lands takedowns at 32 percent of his attempts. He delivers 4.57 significant strikes a minute while taking on 4.53. This is solid, but not much room for error.
