- Main Event: Ketlen Vieira vs. Miesha Tate
Expert Pick #1 – Tate to win @+105
Tate’s impressive comeback TKO win over Marion Reneau in her first match back in the UFC clearly shows her intent. The former champion takes on fellow top 10 contender Ketlen Vieira in a bout to decide who is going to edge closer to the top 5 of the division. Vieira has lost 2 of her last 3 fights, and her inability to defend takedowns in her most recent loss does not bode well for her as she goes up against an exceptional wrestler in Tate. With the wealth of experience that she has coupled with her skills on the canvas, our experts predict a convincing second win for Misha Tate as she makes her way up the ranks again. Records: Ketlen Vieira 11-2-0| Miesha Tate 19-7-0 Main Card –(W)Bantamweight (135lbs) – Approx. Start Time: 6:00 p.m. ET
Expert Pick #2 – Kang to win @-112
Another close matchup on the fight card for this event sees two excellent grapplers in Rani Yahya and Kyung Ho Kang facing off. As both fighters will almost certainly cancel each other out in terms of grappling, this match could very well be decided on the feet. With his massive height and reach advantage, Kang should be able to defend Yahya’s takedown and control the fight from start to finish, thereby securing the win on the night. Records: Rani Yahya 27-10-1 | Kyung Ho Kang 17-8-0 Main Card – Featherweight (145lbs) – Approx. Start Time: 5:00 p.m. ET
Expert Pick #3 – Yanez to win @–278
Adrien Yanez is undefeated in his last 4 fights and comes into this bout against Davey Grant with the wind in his sails. Yanez being the younger fighter, possesses the speed and movement advantage over his opponent, alongside his superior boxing. This fight is expected to be fought completely on the feet, and we see Adrien Yanez coming out on top in the end.
Records: Adrien Yanez 14-3-0 |Davey Grant 11-5-0 Main Card – Bantamweight (135lbs) – Approx. Start Time: 4:00 p.m. ET
