Fernando Padilla, with a record of 15 wins and 5 losses, had his winning streak of three fights stopped. He's going to the apex to bounce back. Last year, he made a great start in the UFC by beating Julian Erosa quickly in their match. But in his recent fight, he lost to Kyle Nelson in the third round. For a couple of years, Padilla was tough for anyone to beat. From 2015 to 2017, he was known for knocking out his opponents early, except for Dan Ige. He won against tough fighters like Jeffrey Mesa, Darrick Minner, Ryan Fillingame, Edgar Diaz Guzman, Keni Harrison, Javier Gonzales Alvarado, Jose Landeros, and Javier Gonzales Alvarado again, showing his power. After these impressive wins, he fought nine more times, with five wins and four losses.

This will be Pajuelo's first official UFC fight. He has won 8 out of 9 fights, with one win in the UFC already. Last year, Pajuelo did great in the Contender Series and won his first UFC fight by hitting Robbie Ring with a knee. He's knocked out seven opponents, mostly in the first or third round. Pajuelo has beaten fighters like Morales, Hurtado, Magliano, Pelaez, Ponce, and Ring. His only loss was to Mike Davidson, and it was a close call.

The two teams are very different, making the match exciting. Padilla, from the 10th planet, likes to stand and fight with strong hits. Each fighter brings their own skills to the match. Padilla has powerful attacks, while Pajuelo is accurate and good at defense. Padilla is expected to win, but Pajuelo, who is new to the UFC, looks promising. Padilla, who is tall and has a long reach, could be tough to beat. He tries to keep his distance and uses his jab to bother Pajuelo. However, Padilla doesn’t always use his best skills in the fight. Pajuelo, who is skilled and a good striker, might overcome Padilla’s reach advantage. The fight looks like it won’t be a close one.
