*8* play on UNDER 2.5 rounds between Roan Carneiro and Derek Brunson.
The 37 year old journeyman fighter Roan Carneiro has worked his way back into the UFC after a mostly unsuccessful start to his career in 2007-2008. He will face 32 year old Derek Brunson in Fight Night 83, and I think this fight will be short and sweet.
Here are my keys to the fight:
1. Brunson's Power - The younger Brunson has a record of 14-3, six of his wins have come by way of knockout. His last two fights were first round knockout victories.
2. Carneiro's Chin - The older Carneiro has a record of 20-9, and six of his nine losses have come by either knockout or submission. He appears to be over-matched here in this bout versus Brunson.
3. X-Factor - We expect this fight to be a stand up war, as it's unlikely Carneiro will be able to get Brunson on the ground.
Selection: This is a play on Carneiro vs. Brunson to go UNDER 2.5 rounds (8*)
