BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Brian Ortega vs Alajmain Sterling:
Eryk Anders, UFC middleweight: That’s a very tough one. It’s interesting that both are such high-level grapplers. I think it will be a grappling match, and I think Aljamain will be able to control him on the ground for a decision.
Drakkar Klose, UFC lightweight: I got Sterling winning that one using his wrestling to control Ortega. He seems to do much better at featherweight, and he had success against Movsar, so I like him to get the win here.
Davey Grant, UFC bantamweight: I train with Aljo a lot, and I know how good he is. I like this matchup for him, and I think he gets the win here. Probably a decision, as it’s only three rounds, but he’ll be able to control Ortega.
Modestas Bukauskas, UFC light heavyweight: That is a very good fight. Aljamain Sterling looks like a beast at featherweight, and I have to give it to him.
Billy Quarantillo, UFC featherweight: Sterling. His wrestling will be the difference as he’ll be able to control Ortega to get the win.
Coby Thicknesse, UFC bantamweight: I think Sterling is going to get it done again, probably by decision. I think he’ll use his wrestling to stay safe.
