I used to be a Youssef hater but I am a changed man. He is very good everywhere and while he is not the most exciting guy on the roster, its that willingness to fight smart that has me so confident in him here. Youssef is the pick and probably my most confident pick on the card.

Jarno Errens

Jarno Errens has solid striking and solid takedowns when he needs them. He is primarily a striker who likes to come forward and dictate the striking pace. He does a very nice job working the body and the head as well as mixing in kicks. He throws everything with power which makes him dangerous, but does also set him up to be taken down. He is coming off the underdog win over Steve Nguyen where he had a knockdown and almost doubled the strikes

Youssef Zalal

Youssef Zalal was cut from the UFC last year but came back on short notice and looked fantastic. Style wise he is a very well rounded fighter who likes to hang out on outside then comes in with solid takedowns. He averages more than 2 takedowns per fight but does have a low accuracy of 34%. His striking style is to stay on the outside and point fight. He is a high IQ guy that can be low volume but he also has incredible defense, he is only hit with 1.73 significant strikes per minute, which considering he has 6 decisions in the UFC is an incredible stat.
