Quickfire predictions for UFC Denver.
It's UFC Denver fight week, and despite a slew of cancellations, the card holds up. Fans will be pleased to see a roster of dynamite matchups, most of which feel like guaranteed finishes.Despite recent losses to the rising stars of the middleweight division, Andre Petroski still possesses solid grappling skills for his division, and mixes it up well on the feet. Fremd, tall for the division, is quite awkward on his feet and throws a lot of strikes that leave him open for takedowns.
If he pushes the pace against Van in this fight, he's a problem, but historically, he doesn't do this, so I'm picking Van.On paper this is a difficult fight for Alhassan. Despite possessing so many first round finishes, he's quite a reserved fighter - until he loads up on big punches. Brundage works best on the ground, and I can definitely see him shooting for Alhassan's hips on one of those big movements.
