Fight Preview

Gabriel Alves Braga is 11-0 in his professional career which started in 2018. Now a 25-year-old, the Brazilian is seen as the next big thing in the PFL. Sure, he’s a fantastic fighter with great striking ability, but he just isn’t as well-rounded as his next opponent.Ā 

Chris Wade is a much better wrestler/grappler than Braga, but the American’s biggest advantage is that he has way more experience. ā€œThe Long Island Killerā€ is 23-9 overall, with his debut happening almost 12 years ago.

During his career, Wade has fought not only in the PFL but also in the UFC. Needless to say, he’s faced much tougher opponents than Braga, with his most notable win being the one against Christos Giagos in 2015.

Gabriel Alves Braga vs. Chris Wade Prediction

Chris Wade looks like the kind of guy who could derail the Gabriel Alves Braga hype train. He’s got the skillset, power, and experience needed to get through to the 2023 PFL Final.
