Among the greatest fighters in MMA background is set to return to the Octagon after this spring. Plus, the UFC’s return to Ottawa receives a couple of new matchups in today’s MMA odds and ends.
BJ Penn vs. Clay Guida, UFC 237
A lightweight link between BJ Penn and Clay Guida is famous for UFC 237, which is set for May 11 in Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. MMAFighting.com broke the news. Penn (16-13-2) is 12-12-1 all time from the Octagon and is the former UFC welterweight and lightweight winner. But he has really fallen on hard times as of late. Now age 40, he was just submitted by Ryan Hall through heel hook and is now riding a six-fight win series. He refuses to hang up the glasses, believing he could hang at the UFC, but it is clear his best days are years behind him. Guida (34-18) is 14-2 all-time in the UFC and many recently lost by entry to Charles Oliveira. However, he beat Joe Lauzon and Erik Koch in back-to-back fights before that. Now, you just can’t pick Penn to beat anyone on the UFC roster, and I would tag Guida as a big favorite to win this fight despite his own struggles. .
Nordine Taleb vs. Siyar Bahadurzada, UFC Fight Night 150
An exciting welterweight bout between Nordine Taleb and Siyar Bahadurzada will happen at UFC Fight Night 150, set for May 4 at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Taleb (14-6) is 6-4 at the UFC and is coming off of successive stoppage losses to Sean Strickland and Claudio Silva. Bahadurzada (24-7-1) is 3-3 in the UFC and most recently dropped a decision to Curtis Millender. Both men are on the drawbacks of their livelihood, but I see Bahadurzada as the complete fighter and would prefer him to acquire this one.
Alexey Oleynik vs. Walt Harris, UFC Fight Night 150
Heavyweights Alexey Oleynik and Walt Harris are set to clash at UFC Fight Night 150. Ariel Helwani broke the news. Oleynik (57-11, 1 NC) is 6-2 at the UFC and is coming off of a submission win over Mark Hunt. Though he is 41, he’s still battling in an elite level. Harris (12-7) is 5-6 in the UFC and just picked up the biggest win of his career, a split decision nod over Andrei Arlovski. Although Oleynik is getting up there in age, he has looked fantastic as of late and has arguably the best submission game at the heavyweight division, period. Though Harris can cause Oleynik issues if this struggle stays standing, Oleynik’s advantage on the floor should make him a big betting popular in this bout.
Kyle Nelson vs. Matt Sayles, UFC Fight Night 150
Featherweights Kyle Nelson and Matt Sayles may even meet at UFC Fight Night 150. Nelson (12-2) lost to Carlos Diego Ferreira on short notice in his UFC debut, but that struggle was a weight class and he had been on a six-fight win series on the regional scene prior to that. Sayles (7-2) chose to Sheymon Moraes in his UFC debut after a nice win on Dana White’s Contender Series earned him a UFC deal. This looks like a total coin-flip and that I expect the line to be close a Pick’em.
