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