Prelim Pick of the Week: UFC Vancouver
UFC Middleweight Fight: Azamat Bekoev vs Yousri Belgaroui
Start Time: Saturday (10/18) 4:00pm EST (ESPN+)
UFC Vancouver has plenty of tight fights on the prelims and the main card. However, one of the easiest to call early in the week has some chalk to it. Regardless, it’s definitely the best value you’re going to find on the whole card.
Azamat Bekoev is a top notch prospect in a division that could use some. After winning the LFA title and defending it twice, he’s run through his first two tests in the UFC without much issue. First he stopped Zach Reese in his debut – halting Reese’s win streak. Then he stopped Ultimate Fighter winner, Ryan Loder, in even less time. Now after picking up two quick wins, they’re giving him Yousri Belgaroui.
The Dutch striker Belgaroui has shown some real issues with his takedown defense. Marco Tulio took him down twice on Contender Series, and controlled him for over six minutes. Not only is Bekoev a better wrestler, but he’s also dangerous on the feet. It’s hard to see a path to victory for Belgaroui unless his takedown defense has taken a major step forward.
