UFC Seattle predictions
Henry Cejudo vs. Music Yadong
Two fighters on reverse spectrums of their profession, Music Yadong is fairly nicely uncovered to 5 spherical fights, defeating Ricky Simon and Chris Gutierrez in fundamental occasion spots.
The place this struggle will get dicey for him is agaist an MMA brainiac like Henry Cejudo who meticuously disects his opponents in ways in which few can compete with.
Cejudo by no means makes errors and has an unimaginable wrestling pedigree to fall again on.
Yadong doesn’t defend takedowns very nicely, being dragged to the mat by Ricky Simon and Petr Yan, neither of whom have the wrestling chops that Cejudo does.
Yadong does do a very good job getting again up as soon as he’s been takendown and it’s honest to say that Yadong has gotten a lot better since he misplaced a majority choice to Cody Stamann when he was 22.
Nonetheless, I’m jut unable to recover from the truth that Cejudo has a lifetime of grappling below his belt and isn’t a slouch in the case of hanging both.
Wager this struggle to go the space (1.67 items to win one unit) and take a small stab at Cejudo by choice.
PICK: Struggle goes the space (-160, Bet365) | Cejudo by choice (+370, BetRivers)
Brendan Allen vs. Anthony Hernandez
These two have truly fought earlier than in Jan. 2018 when Anthony Hernandez beat Brendan Allen through a five-round choice.
A betting development in fights that I constantly goal is fights to go the space between opponents who’ve fought or educated collectively earlier than.
Allen was truly favored in that struggle at -190, should you’re intnerested in watching the struggle have a look beneath.
Hernandez is now an enormous favourite seven years later after having defeated Allen within the first struggle.
We’ve seen these two grapple, Hernandez has glorious scrambles towards takedowns and arguably is the higher submission menace at this level.
He’s improved dramatically and whereas I believe these two have loads of ending expertise, I additionally suppose familiarity will assist cancel that out.
Wager on this struggle to go the space and take a small stab at Allen to win a choice as I view him as the higher striker.
He ought to look to keep away from the grappling, Hernandez is slicker there.
PICK(s): Struggle goes the distnace (-150, BetMGM) | Allen by choice (+550, ESPN BET)
