Haven't been on pregame in a long time but here are my picks for tonight's card good luck to all.
Jimy Hettes +135
I believe of the two fighters Jimy Hettes is the more well-rounded fighter. In Diego Brandao you have a submission fighter with heavy hands. He can knock anyone out in the 145 pound division but he leaves himself open when throwing his heavy strikes and a fighter with good stand up can easily avoid those shots and pick him apart. Jimy Hettes in my opinion is a very over looked fighter he has a great ground game and good striking skills. I believe he has good wrestling defense to keep this fight standing where he will utilize his height and reach advantage to pick Diego apart and wait for him to gas. TKO 2nd round
Lyoto Machida +150
I really like this underdog I believe this line should be the other way. Luke Rockhold is a great fighter and could one day be a champion but I don't think he's ready and has never faced a fighter like Machida. Machida has a very good wrestling which he uses to prevent take downs. The reason Machida lost to Chris Weidman last year was cause he pressured Machida and mixed his wrestling with his striking to keep Machida back pedaling and guessing. I don't believe Rockhold has the ability to do this on such a great fighter. Look for Machida to use strikes to setup kicks and also use some take downs of his own to score points. Machida by unanimous decision 50-45
