Which fighters have the edge at UFC Fight Night? MMA coaches and betting analysts weigh in
square off in the main event of UFC Fight Night on Saturday at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey (by unanimous decision in her last fight. All of Fiorot's last four wins came against fighters who have held or challenged for a UFC title.
Enter Blanchfield, who has leveraged her dangerous submission game on the mat and clinch control on the feet when she can't get the fight down. In her last fight, she went 0 for 14 on takedowns but still spent over half the fight in control of a larger opponent. She'll need that same persistence to stifle Fiorot, but as you know by now, I tend to favor the grappler in matchups like this.Blanchfield enters her title eliminator as a near 2-to-1 favorite.
Algeo's style is never fun to deal with, and if you aren't able to keep up with a frenetic pace throughout three rounds, you are in for a rough night. Algeo is an excellent grappler with unpredictable striking and KO power. I think his movement and constant pressure are going to be way too much for Nelson, who tends to rely on his one-punch power rather than throwing punches in bunches.
