#7 The Prelims: UFC Fight Pass card

Veteran Jodie Esquibel is looking for her first UFC win on Saturday's Fight Pass card

Fight Pass subscribers can also check out a trio of earlier prelims on this card. Topping things off is a Strawweight fight between Hannah Cifers and Jodie Esquibel, and this could be the last chance saloon for Esquibel in particular as she’s lost her first 3 UFC fights.

Cifers didn’t show a lot in her UFC debut but she’s a strong kickboxer and I think Esquibel’s best days are behind her. Cifers by decision is my pick.

At Bantamweight, Kyung Ho Kang returns to face Brandon Davis. An early product of the Contender Series, Davis is hard-nosed and has skills in all areas, but he was largely outgrappled in all of his UFC losses which makes me lean towards ‘Mr Perfect’ here, as the Korean is a genuinely fantastic – and aggressive – grappler. I like Kang by submission.

Finally at Flyweight, Sabina Mazo takes on Shana Dobson. It’s a hard fight to pick given both women are largely unproven at this level but I’m leaning towards Mazo; she showed flashes of potential in her UFC debut against Maryna Moroz while Dobson hasn’t fought in over a year and didn’t really light up the cage in her previous fights. Mazo via decision is my pick.
