One of Marley's top UFC 326 picks: He is backing Luke Fernandez to win via knockout over Rodolfo Bellato in a light heavyweight bout on the early preliminary card.
"Fernandez is making his UFC debut here after a fast KO win on DWCS, and he has a perfect 6-0 record," Marley said. "Bellato is well-rounded, so maybe the line is a bit wide against a guy this early in his career, but I do like Fernandez. He has a solid wrestling/grappling base, which I like to give him his biggest edge. He also has big KO power in his hands. I'll take Fernandez by TKO or decision."
Marley also has strong picks for Holloway vs. Oliveira and other bouts on the UFC 326: Holloway vs. Oliveira 2 card. He's also backing a fighter with "a higher work rate," to emerge with a big victory. You MUST see his UFC 326: Holloway vs. Oliveira 2 picks before making any of your own.
