UFC Picks
Jacoby has not fought in the UFC for a long time, but he won his way back in at Dana White’s Contender Series 27. There is no question that Jacoby will be highly motivated and oddsmakers expect him to get this win, as he is listed as more than a 3-1 favorite. Ledet has completely fallen apart, losing his last three fights. I definitely lean to Jacoby in this fight, but I am not laying 3-1. It is hard to see how this fight goes the distance, as nine of the 12 wins for Jacoby have been by finish with eight of those wins coming in the first round. Ledet has nine wins and seven of those wins have been finishes. I will go under the rounds total in this fight.
