These two have light heavyweight title aspirations, as Ulberg profiles as the newcomer looking to break through, while Reyes has championship experience.College football Week 5 predictions, odds: Three picks, best bets for Saturday’s cardReyes nearly got to the pinnacle of the sport, fighting Jon Jones for the light heavyweight strap and nearly winning a decision. Reyes has looked like a shell of himself after that defeat, losing three straight fights all by brutal knockouts. Now to see him back at this spot with three consecutive wins, all also by knockout against legitimate competition, is a fantastic turn for him, still just 35. Ulberg is the rightful favorite here, boasting a 12-1 record with the elite camp at City Kickboxing helping him prepare.If things get shaky in terms of striking defense, I suspect that Ulberg also has the grappling advantage. Ulberg has been to two straight decisions, and while Reyes has had six straight fights end by KO, he is the only one in this matchup who has fought five rounds .Jimmy Crute is a fighter that I once expected to compete for a title. His athletic prowess is impressive, and he faces Ivan Erslan, who is 0-2 in the UFC.Crute profiles as the better grappler, but is extremely unpredictable with shotty cardio that makes it difficult to trust him.Erslan has had his back taken in consecutive fights, something I am extremely worried about for him in this light heavyweight matchup. Crute has submitted some legitimate talent in the UFC. Defeating Michal Oleksiejczuk by submission while also tapping out ground ace Paul Craig. The clear play for me is Jimmy Crute by submission here, with the hope that he is in better physical condition than we’ve seen in recent years, and hoping he doesn’t gas out.Jonathan Micallef vs. Oban Elliott: Elliott ML Colby Thicknesse vs. Josias Musasa: Musasa ML Erich Richter is a brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt but he has a black belt in MMA betting.
