UFC 215: Nunes vs Shevchenko 2 - Preview & Predictions

# Preliminary Card (Fox Sports 1)

Sara McMann headlines the UFC 215 prelims

#1 Sara McMann vs Ketlen Vieira

Sara McMann has all the tools to be a top player at 135, but never seems to get it together, per se.

Regardless, Vieira isn’t unbeatable, and I see McMann using her superior wrestling and heavy hands to stun her foe, eventually finishing Vieira with a barrage of ground and pound.

Prediction: Sara McMann def. Ketlen Vieira via TKO

#2 Sarah Moras vs Ashlee Evans-Smith

Sarah Moras has not been as active as a high-level fighter ought to be.

Although Evans-Smith isn’t as dangerous, as say a Cris Cyborg, she is still crafty and knows how to win fights.

I see Evans-Smith winning exchanges both on the feet as well as the mat, and taking home the win on the judges’ scorecards.

Prediction: Ashlee Evans-Smith def. Sarah Moras via Decision

#3 Gavin Tucker vs Rick Glenn

Gavin Tucker is extremely talented and has all the tools to make it as a top player in the UFC.

I see him running through Rick Glenn and making a huge statement in this UFC 215 showdown -- stunning Glenn on the feet and then moving in for the kill.

Prediction: Gavin Tucker def. Rick Glenn via Submission

#4 Mitch Clarke vs Alex White

Mitch Clarke is a run-of-the-mill MMA competitor, and while he still has ways to go in the UFC, I fully expect him to get through Alex White.

Clarke would likely out work White on the ground, and while the stand up would be somewhat competitive, Clarke would do enough to take home the decision.

Prediction: Mitch Clarke def. Alex White via Decision
