UFC 315: Muhammad vs. Della Maddalena full preliminary card picks & predictions

UFC 315 Preliminary Card Predictions

Mike Malott vs. Charles Radtke

We’ve already seen Radtke showcase the type of power that could cause serious problems for Malott, but as long as he doesn’t get caught early then “Proper” has more tools at his disposal to close out the prelims with a big victory.

(Pick: Malott)

Jéssica Andrade vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius

Andrade does represent probably the biggest test Jasudavicius has faced in her career thus far, but even if she struggles to bring the former champion to the ground a massive height and reach advantage should allow the Canadian to earn her fifth win in a row.

(Pick: Jasudavicius)

Modestas Bukauskas vs. Ion Cutelaba

Bukauskas has shown some significant improvements since rejoining the UFC, and while “The Baltic Gladiator” will still need to be wary of Cutelaba’s power I think he’ll be able to avoid eating anything big before potentially earning a finish of his own.

(Pick: Bukauskas)

Navajo Stirling vs. Ivan Erslan

Stirling may have lost a little bit of hype after going the distance with Tuco Tokkos in his UFC debut, but this matchup with Erslan looks like an opportunity for the undefeated fighter to showcase the finishing skills that earned him a UFC contract.

(Pick: Stirling)

UFC 315 Early Preliminary Card Predictions

Marc-André Barriault vs. Bruno Silva

Both of these men enter UFC 315 on losing streaks and are almost certainly fighting for their respective spots on the roster, and I’m going to slightly lean with Barriault to feed off the energy of the crowd in Montreal in order to beat Silva.

(Pick: Barriault)

Daniel Santos vs. Jeong Yeong Lee

Lee comes into this fight after suffering his first UFC loss last year, and unfortunately for him he’s returning for a difficult follow-up matchup with Santos.

(Pick: Santos)

Brad Katona vs. Bekzat Almakhan

Katona certainly has the experience necessary to get things done here, but after seeing Almakhan go the distance with Umar Nurmagomedov in his UFC debut I have to favor “The Turan Warrior” to rebound with his first Octagon victory.

(Pick: Almakhan)
