After a rare week off, the UFC is back in action this weekend, heading across the world to the Galaxy Arena in Macau, China. Bantamweights take center stage this Saturday, with a former two-time UFC champion in the main event. For my MMA Underdog Pick of the Week: PFL Brussels, I\u2019ve got a main card live dog. Let\u2019s get it on, c\u2019mon!<\/p>\n

MMA Underdog Pick of the Week: UFC Macau
\nUFC Fight Night: Song vs Figueiredo (aka UFC Macau)<\/a><\/p>\n

Start Time: 4:00 AM EST<\/p>\n

The UFC has an unfortunate habit of getting in on Japanese fighters too late. Numerous legendary Japanese fighters have joined the UFC with too many miles on their tires and ended up flaming out of the world\u2019s biggest MMA promotion.<\/p>\n

That may be the case with former RIZIN champion Kai Asakura. While only 32 years old, the miles have piled up on the bantamweight, and he\u2019s been submitted in both his UFC fights \u2013 the first a title fight against Alexandre Pantoja, the last to Tim Elliott.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll take a flyer on the younger, bigger, less banged-up fighter facing Asakura this week, Cameron Smotherman<\/a>. \u2018The Baby-Faced Killa\u2019 has a solid all-around game and high-level experience.<\/p>\n

UFC Macau Underdog Pick: Cameron Smotherman ML (+245)<\/p>\n
