Sherdog soothsayer Jay Pettry pitches expectations that “And New!” will echo through the building, celebrates a revitalized ex-champion and throws cold water on a habitual line-skipper.
pulls up to the Great Salt Lake with a solid card on paper that presents a few seemingly wacky betting lines. Matchmakers took great pains to ensure violence ensues at the Delta Center, and bettors expect a number of these planned encounters will conclude before the final bell sounds. Join theedition of Prime Picks, as we pitch expectations that “And New!” will echo through the building, while celebrating a revitalized ex-champ and throwing cold water on a habitual line-skipper.
While known as a grappler, Pena’s own determination to get the fight down has gotten her in trouble in the past., a woman not at all known for her submission prowess, put her to sleep with a guillotine choke when Pena shot for an ill-advised takedown. Pennington did the same against, with shocking power that actually lifted Chiasson off the mat before crushing her windpipe with a 10-finger guillotine.
Due to some fuzzy betting lines littered on the lineup of this Salt Lake City showcase, Prime Picks very nearly followed the same gimmick of UFC 305 by calling for four upsets. Instead, even thoughand Aldo could pull another rabbit out of the hat, we walk on the wildest of sides by suggesting a flier on one of the largest betting upsets in promotional history. The two-time Olympic gold medalist in judo would like to get her hands on Vieira early and often, and she excels at doing just that.
One fight removed from a failed defense of her strawweight throne, Esparza tumbles all the way down from co-main event on a pay-per-view to the early prelims. It is a surprising amount of disrespect handed down towards the two-time champion, even if matchmaking is fair. Since making her splash by winning the 20th season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Esparza has not been much of a finisher.
