Welcome to the UFC: Jackson Mcvey

Jackson Mcvey, an undefeated middle weight with the nickname “The Moose”, debut at UFC 318. Mcvey should fight at UFC 317 during the international fighter week, only for Sedriques Dumas, and replaced by Christopher Ewert. Then Ewert placed its weight cut and left Mcvey without a fight.

Mcvey joins this fight at short notice and has a dominant victory in a dominant victory last month LFA 210. He is a difficult view to completely evaluate, especially because he didn't spend much time in the cage. As a professional, his longest fight only took 3 minutes and 47 seconds. So far, it has been steamed by every opponent with minimal resistance.

His lonely career loss came as an amateur, submitted by Competitive series Alum Wes Schultz about arm bar in less than a minute. This result did not provide many answers either. The biggest question about Mcvey is how it will appear in extended, competitive fights. But based on what we have seen, he is a dangerous fighter in several areas.

Mcvey prefers to work in the clinch where he is evil. In the open room, he throws a variety of kicks, especially in the body, including a solid tea. He fights for a long time, but his boxing still needs development. He tends to keep his hands low and wide, leaves gaps in his defense and limits his hand speed.

Mcvey really shines in the clinch. It is aggressive and calculates and uses head pressure and wrist control to land short elbows, knees and blows. He is excellent in manipulating his opponent's wrists and often pulling them over the body to open clean shots. Fighters have to be careful when they immerse themselves in their heads in the clinch because Mcvey actively threatens the headlocks at the front.

He showed that a massive cage wrestling flashes and mixed knee cones and travel to bring fights onto the floor. He is also clearly a grappler of the submission. He is at 6'4 '' and uses his long limbs effectively to search for frost. The neck is its specialty; He has secured guillotines and triangles in the past and he has shown comfort that attacks his back. With its size and consciousness, Mcvey has the creation of a real threat to submit to the UFC level.

The sample size is still small and Mcvey has not yet been tested deep in fighting. There are layers of his game that we haven't seen right now. But the tools are there, especially in a flat department in the middleweight, in which upward mobility becomes faster.

Matchup Outlook vs. Ferreira:

Jackson Mcvey became a dangerous test in Bruno Ferreira from a cheap fight in SD Dumas. Bruno is a power puncher and submission threat. He will test McVy's durability, chin and physicality. Mcvey is +425 and it is mainly due to the unknown.

Ferreira is anything but a perfect fighter. Sloppy on the feet and cardio drains in the course of the fight. I think there is a value in Mcvey at its price. It is six centimeters taller, and that should come into play in space, and the clinch where it is best. It depends on how he deals with the power of Ferreria because his chin has not been tested. I also imagine that Ferreira will wrestle if the fight runs for more than a few minutes.

It would be interesting to see how well the Jiu-Jitsu from Mcvey against Ferreira translates from his back. He is the longer fighter, so he should be able to threaten with submissions. I choose Ferreira because I think he is more proven and the opponent for Mcvey.
