The contest airs live in U.S. primetime from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old American owns a 6-0 (1 NC) record, with four knockouts and two submissions. He returned from a serious knee injury earlier this year to stop Gilbert Nakatani with a 38-second spinning backfist.<\/p>\n<p>Cesar, 22, is 14-2 and riding a nine-fight winning streak, including a unanimous decision over Lito Adiwang in his ONE debut in July. Perreira pictures the finish starting with a hook.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think, as he\u2019s circling out, it\u2019ll be a right or a left hook if he circles to either side up against the ropes. I\u2019ll shift forward to another stance. I\u2019ll catch him with that hook. I think it\u2019ll stumble him, not necessarily knock him out, but I see it hurting him to the point where I follow him to the ground,\u201d Perreira said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he\u2019s able to defend my strikes, I\u2019m going to try to establish a solid position, rain shots down, and if the submission \u2013 whatever that may be \u2013 presents itself, I will secure it. And like a vice grip, I will get him.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Joshua Perreira targets Yuya Wakamatsu next<\/h2>\n<p>A win over the in-form Brazilian would place Perreira in the top tier of the division. He is unsure whether it would earn an immediate shot at ONE Flyweight MMA World Champion Avazbek Kholmirzaev.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the Immortal Martial Arts Center product has his sights on former titleholder Yuya \u201cLittle Piranha\u201d Wakamatsu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that\u2019d be fantastic, even more of a step up in competition. He\u2019s an elusive striker with solid grappling. And a win over him would cement me as next in line for the title,\u201d Perreira said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho knows? I\u2019m just happy to be doing what I love, being a complete martial artist and showing my skills on the world stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-1 mt-0 os-source\">This article appeared first on BJPENN.COM<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjpenn.com\/mma-news\/joshua-perreira\/joshua-perreira-predicts-hook-led-finish-of-antonio-cesar-at-one-fight-night-48\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=joshua-perreira-predicts-hook-led-finish-of-antonio-cesar-at-one-fight-night-48\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trending:Darren Till gets honest about his performance in win over Yoel RomeroONE Championship Every one of his six professional wins has ended before the final bell.
