Constantinos Philippou vs. Nick Catone
The Matchup: Catone has a big an edge in wrestling, with a stronger pedigree here.
Catone, who has not fought in more than a year, should look to use his standup to keep Philippou occupied defending strikes and time his takedown attempts appropriately. The beneficiary of a last-minute shuffle of the UFC 128 deck, Philippou is unbeaten in his past eight appearances.
The Pick: Favor Catone in a match where his wrestling wears down Philippou en route to a late stoppage.
