Holm is a former bantamweight champion who given Ronda Rousey her first loss while Randamie is 7-3 overall and 3-1 in the UFC. The main card in UFC 208 has five bouts as along with Holm vs. de Randamie it is Anderson Silva vs. Derek Brunson, Glover Teixeira vs. Jared Cannonier, Ronaldo Souza vs. Tim Boetsch and Dustin Poirier vs. Jim Miller. Let’s look at UFC 208 with a focus on Holm vs. de Randamie and Silva vs. Brunson and UFC picks.
Bet at BetCris on UFC Germaine de Randamie -123 vs. Holly Holm
Holm gets more expertise and the name but it is. Holm is 3-2 in the UFC and 10-2 in her livelihood. She’s hoping to win the inaugural featherweight title. “I understand that right now, it is the onset of the branch,” said Holm”But there are so many girls that want the chance. I guarantee you they can build a division very quickly. They’ve just got to make some telephone calls.”
It was thought that Cristiane”Cyborg” Justino would fight for the first-ever belt but Cyborg is out of action right now due to a failed drug test. Holm and de Randamie will be the first two in the division but more might be on the road including Megan Anderson who won the Invicta FC interim featherweight title against Charmaine Tweet.
Holm comes into this battle having lost two straight struggles at bantamweight because she was conquered by Miesha Tate and Valentina Shevchenko. Holm considers those 2 losses don’t mean she is on the downside of her livelihood.
“I understand I have two losses, but I didn’t get schooled in my last two fights,” she explained. “Against Miesha Tate, I was winning until I got choked out. And my fight with Shevchenko, she’s going for the title, and it was a close fight. In my heart, I know she won this fight. She was the better fighter at night. I feel that anybody can be overcome, and I have that in me. I have that confidence in me. I have confidence in my ability. I just need to perform.”
UFC Picks
It’s hard to get excited about taking Holm but what has de Randamie performed to show she’s worthy of winning a name? I will take a small shot with Holm and play with the rounds to go over the total.
Derek Brunson -127 vs. Anderson Silva
Silva is the marquee name but it’s questionable as to whether he’s much left. He is 33-8 in his career but he hasn’t won a fight since 2012. He has four losses and a no competition in his last five fights. Brunson is 16-4 in his profession but he is coming off a loss to Robert Whittaker in November.
Silva is 41-years older and that he isn’t the fighter he once was but he has faced far tougher competition than Brunson has in the past couple of years. If there’s ever going to become a bounce back for Silva it has to begin with a triumph over Brunson.
UFC Picks
I really don’t think Brunson is anything particular and while Silva is definitely over the mountain I think he will find a way to acquire this one.
UFC 208: Holm vs. de Randamie is set for Saturday, February 11 at the Barclays Center at Brooklyn, New York.
