Ion Cutelaba vs. Philipe Lins

Dropping his first two fights under the UFC banner in 2020, Lins comes into Saturday on a three-fight winning streak over guys with a combined record of 73-30. The 38-year-old now draws a fighter eight years his junior in Ion Cutelaba who is also his most well-rounded opponent to date.

While Cutelaba comes in having lost three of his past four, he’s faced three killers Ryan Spann, Johnny Walker, and Kennedy Nzechukwu. The last time we saw him in the octagon he did get back on track, beating Tanner Boser in the very first round.

Leaning on a nearly 4x takedown advantage, I think we see Cutelaba get this one done inside the distance.

Pick: Ion Cutelaba (-148 at BetUS) to win 1 unit
