UFC Predictions
Skelly has not fought since May of 2017 when he was defeated by Jason Knight. Skelly is well known as an aggressive wrestler and he is also a decent striker. He is going up against Moffett who is making his UFC debut. Moffett looked good in Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series and is not without a chance to win this fight. This bout will probably be decided on who proves to be a stronger wrestler. Skelly is the better striker, but Moffett is going to look to get this fight to the mat. If Moffett gets his way, he could get the submission. I lean a little bit to Moffett and I also lean toward the fight going under the rounds total.
