UFC Picks
The main event on Saturday night looks to be very competitive, as oddsmakers have the fight listed as a pick. These two fighters have similar records but they go about their business in different ways, as Vettori looks to win on the mat, while Cannonier wins with his striking. Each fighter had their chance against Israel Adesanya and lost but there is no shame in that. Both fighters know what the other one will try to do, so this should be a back-and-forth affair with neither one getting a big advantage. The rounds are listed at 4.5 and I think there is a good chance this one goes the distance, so I will go over the rounds total.
