MMA Underdog Pick of the Week: Road to UFC
Road to UFC: Shanghai Episode 2
Main Card Start Time: 10:00 AM EST – Thursday (UFC Fight Pass)
Thursday’s main event is a Road to UFC: Shanghai opening round featherweight tournament fight between China’s Kaiwen Li and South Korea’s Dong Hyun Seo. And, since this is an underdog article, we’re going with the dog, Seo.
Li is probably being favored here because he’s 2-0 in previous seasons of Road to UFC, but he also is a very pedestrian 14-6. Seo is 7-2-1, has won four straight fights, and has a berserker counter striking style that should be a nightmare matchup for Li.
