The UFC is back in their home gym, the UFC Apex, this Saturday night for a UFC Fight Night card. But this card was a bit stronger than you normally get when they dish out “Apex slop”. And then the main event of Amir Albazi vs Tatsuro Taira fell off the card. Sigh. For my MMA Underdog Pick of the Week: UFC Vegas 108, I’m going with a 34-fight UFC veteran. Let’s get it on, c’mon!

MMA Underdog Pick of the Week: UFC Vegas 018
UFC Fight Night: Albazi vs Taira (aka UFC Vegas 108)
Main Card Start Time: Saturday – 6:00 PM EST – (ESPN/ESPN+)
Neil Magny has long been a puzzling matchup for fighters in the UFC’s welterweight division due to his immense length advantage over all of his opponents. While Magny has lost back-to-back fights via T/KO, and has only won one of his last four, he’s only lost to the top young prospects at 170 pounds during that span (Carlos Prates, Michael Morales, Ian Machado Garry).
His opponent on Saturday is not one of this crop – it’s a fellow past his prime veteran, Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos. While Zaleski dos Santos has knockout power, I think Magny can stay elusive and clinch and grapple his way to a W.
