Our UFC 310 prelim picks target Michael Chiesa, Themba Gorimbo, and Dominic Reyes.
There are a handful of fascinating matchups highlighting the UFC 310 preliminary rounds, among them a bout between Michael Chiesa and Max Griffin. Keep reading for our full breakdown below.takes place this weekend at the T-Mobile Arena, and the final UFC pay-per-view of the year looks to deliver as Alexandre Pantoja vs. Kai Asakura and Shavkat Rakhnonov vs. Ian Garry headline the event.
We’ll have to see how Gorimbo prepares for this, particularly as he’s a wrestle-heavy fighter going up against a fighter with poor striking defense, which would be a great opportunity to see how he can incorporate his striking. Neither of them has done much lately, but Michael Chiesa isn’t as faded as Max Griffin and is the more well-rounded fighter who isn’t known for having poor fight IQ. Griffin has been taken down in four of his last five fights and is looking his age at 39, and the only path to victory he’ll have is to be the first person to knock Chiesa out in over 10 years.
Whether Reyes is somewhat back to his previous form is to be determined, but we can’t expect a checked-out and badly faded Smith to be the truthmaker in this bout of former title contenders. Reyes’ confidence should give him the boost he’ll need to take the fight to Smith, whose mobility is all gone, and put together another strong performance.
