UFC 326 predictions
One of of Marley’s UFC 326 picks: He is backing Luke Fernandez (-235) to win via knockout over Rodolfo Bellato (+180) in a light heavyweight bout on the early preliminary card.
“Fernandez is making his UFC debut here after a fast KO win on DWCS, and he has a perfect 6-0 record,” Marley said. “Bellato is well-rounded, so maybe the line is a bit wide against a guy this early in his career, but I do like Fernandez. He has a solid wrestling/grappling base, which I like to give him his biggest edge. He also has big KO power in his hands. I’ll take Fernandez by TKO or decision.” See who else to back here.
