Alden Coria vs. Stewart Nicoll Pick, Prediction and Bets

CORIA VS NICOLL

It's always crazy to see young prospects come into the UFC with an unblemished record and then leave without a win. That's exactly what will happen to Stewart. He came into the UFC at 8-0 with 7 finishes and was a favorite in 2 of his 3 ufc fights. But here is he is. Riding 3 losses in a row and about to be cut. I don't see Stewart having any success whatsoever here. He won't be the better wrestler, he won't be the better striker and even though it is a fist fight, he won't have a punchers chance because he has no power. Alden wins and should be -4000.

Alden Coria

Alden Coria is a busy grappler with a nice single leg. He snatches legs up with a slight bend at the waist and immediately runs the pipe. On the ground he is busy on top and has great control. His scrambles are slick and he does a good job snatching up submissions. While he is primarily a grappler, he does have solid striking with sneaky power and a full arsenal of knees, kicks and elbows. While he is well rounded, he can be a bit too calm and too hittable. He is coming off the decision win over Luis Gurule.

Stewart Nicoll

Steward Nicoll is is a decent wrestler and slick grappler. When he takes you down he has solid control and is always working. He is looking for positions, landing strikes and staying busy. He is a strong guy and uses that strength well. His striking is a bit stiff, but he has nice leg kicks and isn't afraid to exchange. You're going to see a bunch of KOs on his record, but they are pretty much ground and pound finishes. He is coming off his third UFC loss in a row, this time a knockout to Alessandro Costa.
