UFC Predictions
Pena is someone that the UFC can turn into a potential star, as he has some knockout power, a solid grappling game and he is charismatic. There is always the concern that the UFC could rush Pena, but it is worth the risk. Trizano is becoming well-rounded by outlasting his opponents. It will be interesting to see if he can do that against Pena. In the long run, outlasting opponents usually works, but it is not an exciting way to win. This match looks to be one that Pena can control and I will take him to get the knockout and I also think playing the props for a knockout or just simply taking the rounds to go under is also worth a look.
