Sherdog soothsayer Jay Pettry juggles two of the middleweights on the bill, looks forward to a banger in the co-main event and suggests a two-for-one that should safely cash.
trots out the middleweight division with a well-matched lineup that sees only one betting favorite at -300 or higher this Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The stakes may not be the greatest, but there will be some movement at 185 pounds at night’s end, and a few contenders may emerge. Join theedition of Prime Picks as we juggle two of those 185ers, look forward to a banger in the co-main event and suggest a two-for-one that should safely cash.
The underdog has shown plenty of times his capacity to go hard late in fights and not simply wilt when 15 minutes elapse. On the other hand, Pyfer has only gone the distance once as a pro, which also serves as the lone occasion he has reached Round 3. Every minute that ticks off the clock, bettors should have more faith in the Swede to get his hand raised.
Fili takes this fight on short notice, although the Team Alpha Male staple rarely gets out of shape when out of camp. Conditioning will not likely play a factor unless he backs up most of the matchup, as he does not prefer to fight off his back foot. Both men may come into this co-headliner with complicated game plans, but when they boil it down, these two featherweights would like nothing more than to point down to the floor, nod to one another and start trading leather.

Many did not think a fighter like Curtis could reach the confines of the Octagon, let alone excel or be ranked among the best athletes in the world. “The Action Man” overcame a heap of adversity and got his hand raised when he needed it most. However, just one win in his last four has shown there might be a ceiling in play for the Xtreme Couture export, although it is one that, on paper, is well above Barriault.
