Sherdog’s Jay Pettry throws down for a former champion, expects heavyweights to heavyweight and gives flowers to an explosive Canadian.
on Saturday takes its first trip to Edmonton, Alberta, since 2019 with a crammed card light on divisional relevance beyond the marquee matchups. Unlike several recent events, lines are relatively close, with no favorite above -320 thus far. Join the far more compellingedition of Prime Picks as we throw down for a former champion, expect heavyweights to heavyweight and give flowers to an explosive Canadian.
Like Moreno, Albazi is a member of the vaunted “new breed” discussed for years by various prognosticators and commentators. Instead of coming into the sport with a background in a traditional martial art or combat discipline like wrestling, both fighters joined MMA gyms and learned all of the skills at once.
The loser of this middleweight matchup will almost certainly receive his walking papers, with the UFC cutting or allowing over two dozen competitors to float into the abyss this month alone. With Barriault sporting a 5-7 record inside the Octagon, there should objectively not be a great deal of confidence in him, especially as an odds-on favorite. However, when he collides with Pennsylvanian grappler, who has earned just two wins after seven walks to the UFC cage, it makes a bit more sense.
