UFC Fight Night 121: Werdum vs Tybura (Preview & Predictions)

#Preliminary Card (UFC Fight Pass)

#1 Alex Chambers vs Nadia Kassem

Alex Chambers works her way toward the upper echelon of the UFC Women's Strawweight Division

Alex Chambers is capable of so much more in the Women’s Strawweight Division, but doesn’t quite seem to let her hands flow inside the Octagon.

Kassem, on the other hand, is a bit rough around the edges, and all signs point towards the former getting outworked by Chambers. One also ought to note that Chambers is the hometown fighter, which in turn may sway the judges in her favor. In a more bold estimate, one could definitely see Chambers catching Kassem in a submission during a ground scramble.

Prediction: Alex Chambers def. Nadia Kassem via Submission

#2 Eric Shelton vs Jenel Lausa

Shelton and Lausa are on a similar skill level, so to speak.

However, it’s Shelton who enjoys the slight technical edge in this matchup. Shelton may be able to grind his way to a win, but it’s hard to see a finish in this fight.

Prediction: Eric Shelton def. Jenel Lausa via Decision

#3 Tai Tuivasa vs Rashad Coulter

Tai Tuivasa is the next big thing in the UFC Heavyweight Division. Great striking and steadily improving grappling skills…

Tuivasa has professional boxing experience and is very young, despite having competed for long. Look for the Aussie to make a huge statement by dinging Coulter’s chin in the very first round.

Prediction: Tai Tuivasa def. Rashad Coulter via KO

Indian fans can watch UFC Fight Night 121: Werdum vs Tybura Live & Exclusive on SONY ESPN & SONY ESPN HD (Main Card) from 8:30 am Sunday, November 19th.
