UFC (in Omaha, NE): 12BET odds Ronny Markes vs Aaron Simpson 2/16 9AM GMT+8
Simpson was a two-time All-American at Arizona State, and as such is a very talented wrestler who has adapted those skills for use inside the Octagon. As with Miocic in the bout before this, Simpson uses his wrestling primarily as a defensive tool. While Simpson isn’t a pure boxer, he is more than capable of landing more than he is hit on the feet, and has power in his fists, having earned six of his victories by way of knock out. Simpson also showed in his victory over Brad Tavares that he will not hesitate to switch to a grinding style if he feels his opponent poses a threat on the feet.
Markes does his best work when fighting at close quarters, where the strong fighter is able to boss his opponents around to find his way into dominant positions and hammer away on his opponents, sapping their strength as he goes. Against an accomplished wrestler like Simpson, this may prove difficult sledding, however if Markes is able to impose his will upon Simpson, and keep out of a middle-of-the-cage slugfest, he should be effective working on top of the wrestler.
