UFC Fight Night predictions
One of of Marley’s UFC Fight Night picks: He is backing Mantas Kondratacius to beat Antonio Trocoli via ITD in a middleweight bout on the preliminary card.
“Kondratavicius is making his UFC debut after a win on DWCS, and Trocoli has had four UFC fights and has yet to get a win,” Marley told SportsLine. “Trocoli needs an early flash finish here, but he isn’t very good, and he probably won’t survive long into the fight. Give me Kondratavicius to knock him out early and probably retire him.” See who else to back here.
