BJ PENN VS. CLAY GUIDA ADDED TO UFC 237

Posted October 7, 2019

One of the greatest fighters in MMA history is set to return to the Octagon later this spring. Plus, the UFC’s return to Ottawa receives a couple of new matchups in the current 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 at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. MMAFighting.com broke the news. Penn (16-13-2) is 12-12-1 all time in the Octagon and will be the former UFC welterweight and lightweight champion. However, he has really fallen on hard times as of late. Now age 40, he had been just submitted by Ryan Hall via heel hook and is currently riding a six-fight win series. He refuses to hang up the gloves, presuming he could hang at the UFC, but it’s clear his very best times are years . Guida (34-18) is 14-2 all time in the UFC and most recently lost by entry to Charles Oliveira. However, he beat Joe Lauzon and Erik Koch in back-to-back conflicts before that. Now, you just can’t select Penn to beat anybody about the UFC roster, also I would tag 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 successive stoppage declines to Sean Strickland and Claudio Silva. Bahadurzada (24-7-1) is 3-3 at the UFC and most recently dropped a decision to Curtis Millender. Both men are on the drawbacks of their careers, but I see Bahadurzada as the complete fighter and might prefer him to acquire this one.
Alexey Oleynik vs. Walt Harris, UFC Fight Night 150
Heavyweights Alexey Oleynik and Walt Harris are set to clash at UFC Fight Night 150. Ariel Helwani broke the news. Oleynik (57-11, 1 NC) is 6-2 in the UFC and is coming off of a submission win over Mark Hunt. Though he’s 41, he is still fighting at an elite level. Harris (12-7) is 5-6 from the UFC and only picked up the biggest win of his career, a split decision nod over Andrei Arlovski. Though Oleynik is getting up there in age, he has looked fantastic as of late and has arguably the best submission game in the heavyweight division, span. Although Harris could cause Oleynik issues if this struggle remains standing, Oleynik’s advantage on the ground should make him a big betting popular in this bout.
Kyle Nelson vs. Matt Sayles, UFC Fight Night 150
Featherweights Kyle Nelson and Matt Sayles may even fulfill at UFC Fight Night 150. Nelson (12-2) lost to Carlos Diego Ferreira on brief note in his UFC debut, but that struggle was up a weight class and he was on a six-fight win series 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 looks like a entire coin-flip and that I expect the line to be near a Pick’em.
