Prelim Pick of the Week: UFC Seattle
UFC Bantamweight Fight: Ricky Simon vs Javid Basharat
Start Time: Saturday 6:00pm EST (ESPN+)
With injuries ravaging this card, there are not a lot of spots on these prelims that I would recommend. Some of the fighters just don’t have a lot of experience on this level and others have far too wide of lines.
However, one place I still see value is in Javid Basharat. The elder of the two Basharat brothers faltered his last time out against Aiemann Zahabi – largely due to just being too passive. Although this has definitely brought his number down, I do expect that he’s learned from his mistake of not putting his foot on the gas.
In addition, this is a great stylistic matchup for him. Ricky Simon has had issues in fights where he can’t get his grappling going. I think Basharat will be the better wrestler here and should be able to piece him up on the feet. Depending on your appetite for risk, that makes this a solid play or at least a nice parlay piece.
