The UFC train rolls on. UFC Oklahoma City was a fairly exciting card (I went 11-1, thank you very much), and the UFC hopes for the same this weekend in Abu Dhabi. For my MMA Prop Play of the Week: UFC Abu Dhabi, I\u2019ve got a knockout play from the prelims. Let\u2019s get it on, c\u2019mon!<\/p>\n

MMA Prop Pick of the Week: UFC Abu Dhabi
\nUFC Fight Night: Ankalaev vs Gusko (aka UFC Abu Dhabi)<\/a><\/p>\n

Start Time: 9:00 AM\u00a0EST\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve hit my UFC prop play five weeks running now, so I\u2019m feeling the pressure to nail another winner this week. I think I\u2019ve found one for a prelim welterweight fight<\/a> between Santiago Ponzinibbio and Sam Patterson.<\/p>\n

Ponzinibbio is going to be turning 40 later this year and has been knocked out five times in his career, including his last fight. Patterson is the much younger (by 10 years), much longer (five-inch reach advantage) fighter in the matchup, and I think he\u2019ll use his length and speed advantage to put a beating on The Ponz, eventually finishing him via strikes. Patterson is also a strong grappler, so a takedown and a ground and pound win is in play as well.<\/p>\n

UFC Abu Dhabi Prop Pick: Sam Patterson wins via T\/KO (+136)<\/p>\n
