UFC Lousiville

The UFC is on the road again this week, bringing fourteen fights to the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky.

In the main event, Jared Cannonier and Nassourdine Imavov face off in a top-ranked Middleweight clash, while Dominick Reyes and Dustin Jacoby meet in the Light Heavyweight main event.


Main Card

Jared Cannonier (17-6) vs. Nassourdine Imavov (13-4) (MW)

I’m expecting a close fight here. Cannonier is a tried and tested veteran of the Octagon and will surely bring intensity the entire fight, but is now 40 and slowing. While I think Imavov has several defensive holes of his own, names his gas tank, I don’t see Cannonier pushing a high enough pace to test that gas tank, plus Imavov has the clear edge on the mat, which I expect him to utilize en route to a close decision.

My Pick: Nassourdine Imavov via Decision
