BJ PENN VS. CLAY GUIDA ADDED TO UFC 237

Posted September 12, 2019

Among the greatest fighters in MMA background is set to return to the Octagon later this spring. Additionally, the UFC’s return to Ottawa receives a few fresh 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 can be set for May 11 in Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. MMAFighting.com broke the information. Penn (16-13-2) is 12-12-1 all-time from the Octagon and will be the former UFC welterweight and lightweight champion. However, he has fallen on hard times as of late. Now age 40, he was only submitted by Ryan Hall through heel hook and is currently riding a six-fight win streak. He won’t hang up the gloves, believing he can hang in the UFC, but it’s clear his best times are years . Guida (34-18) is 14-2 all time from the UFC and many recently lost by submission to Charles Oliveira. But he beat Joe Lauzon and Erik Koch in back-to-back fights before that. At this point, you just can’t select Penn to beat anybody about the UFC roster, and I’d label Guida as a large favorite to win this battle 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 consecutive stoppage declines to Sean Strickland and Claudio Silva. Bahadurzada (24-7-1) is 3-3 at the UFC and many recently dropped a decision to Curtis Millender. Both men are on the drawbacks of their careers, but I view Bahadurzada as the complete fighter and would favor him to win this one.
Alexey Oleynik vs. Walt Harris, UFC Fight Night 150
Heavyweights Alexey Oleynik and Walt Harris are set to battle UFC Fight Night 150. Ariel Helwani broke the information. 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 only 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 great as of late and has arguably the best entry game in the heavyweight division, span. Although Harris can cause Oleynik problems if this struggle stays standing, Oleynik’s advantage on the floor should make him a large 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 up a weight class and he was on a six-fight win streak 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 resembles a total coin-flip and I expect the line to be close a Select’em.
