Ricky Turcios vs. Benardo Sopaj
TURCIOS VS SOPAJ

What we also saw in Bernardo's UFC debut was one of the most vicious knockouts ever. The type of knockout that will permanently change your chin and ability to absorb damage. If Ricky hit harder I would be very worried for Bernardo here because of the bad KO just 7 months ago. But he doesn't so Bernardo will be the pick because I think he is the better fighter here, but obviously Ricky's pace can be trouble for anyone. No odds yet but if Benardo is a dog, I will definitely be betting him.

Ricky Turcios

Ricky Turcios is a very fun high pressure fighter. He will throw anything from anywhere and smile while doing it. In half of his UFC fights he landed more than 100 signifigant strikes and that includes a loss. He doesn't have much to offer outside high volume and high pace because he has a very low 25% takedown accuracy and a sub 50% takedown defense. He is coming off the second round submission loss to Chiwiwi but he actually looked pretty good early.

Benardo Sopaj

Bernardo Sopai is a fast paced, high energy striker. He has power for his size and incredible speed. He will constantly move forward while staying light on his feet. When he sees openings he absolutely explodes into combinations. He has solid takedown defense as well with great hips and we just saw some solid takedown offense in his UFC debut against Vinicius Oliveira.
