A thrilling welterweight matchup is set to unfold at UFC Vegas 110 as Jeremiah Wells squares off against Themba Gorimbo. Both fighters are known for their heart, power, and relentless drive — but only one will take a crucial step forward in the competitive 170-pound division.

Wells enters the fight with a record of 12–4–1, representing the gritty Philadelphia fight scene. A powerhouse with explosive athleticism, Wells has made a name for himself through his aggressive pressure and finishing instinct. His ground game is equally dangerous, with solid grappling and a knack for finding submissions in scrambles. However, Wells’ biggest strength — his all-action style — can also be a weakness when he overcommits or leaves openings for counters. Against a composed and rangy opponent like Gorimbo, that could become a key factor.

Gorimbo’s Game Plan

Themba Gorimbo, standing at 14–5, has become a fan favorite not only for his skills but for his resilience and inspiring story outside the cage. Fighting out of MMA Masters, he’s polished his striking and learned to fight smarter with each outing. Gorimbo’s best route to victory is to maintain distance, keep Wells at the end of his jab, and use lateral movement to frustrate the shorter, more explosive fighter. He’ll also look to mix in level changes to keep Wells guessing and prevent him from settling into rhythm.

Prediction

This fight shapes up as a battle between Wells’ power and Gorimbo’s composure. If Gorimbo can weather the early storm and control range, he has the tools to pick up rounds with clean strikes and smart counters. Wells will be dangerous at every moment, but over three rounds, Gorimbo’s control and patience may prevail.

Prediction: Themba Gorimbo wins via unanimous decision.
