The UFC takes a break from its world tour and heads back to its home base, the Meta APEX, this Saturday for a Fight Night card. I know what you’re thinking, but this isn’t a typical APEX slop card. For my MMA Underdog Pick of the Week: UFC Vegas 118, I’ve got a main card live dog. Let’s get it on, c’mon!

MMA Underdog Pick of the Week: UFC Vegas 118
UFC Fight Night: Muhammad vs Bonfim (aka UFC Vegas 118)
Start Time: 8:00 PM EST
We have an intriguing middleweight matchup as our co-main event on Saturday, a fight that would normally headline a lesser UFC Fight Night at the Apex. And, as this article’s title suggests, I’m going with the underdog in it.
Edmen Shahbazyan shouldn’t be an almost two-to-one dog against Brendan Allen. ‘The Golden Boy’ is the better and more powerful striker, and while he gets taken down in fights, he does not get controlled on the mat – he gets right back up. Allen will more than likely need to lean into his grappling to win this fight, and I think Shahbazyan can thwart it.
