BetDSI.com has your UFC Fight Night 70 betting odds and free picks for a number of fights including the main card: Machida vs. Romero.
Main Card
Lyoto Machida vs. Yoel Romero – Middleweight
Machida (22-6) was dominated by Luke Rockhold in April and Machida wanted to get back into action right away, but he will have his hands full against Romero (9-1), who is a physical specimen. Romero is an Olympic wrestler, but he is a powerful striker who has KO power and he has proven he can go the distance. Sadly, Machida is just past his prime.
Pick: Yoel Romero
TBA vs. TBA – Lightweight, TBA vs. TBA – Bantamweight
These two are still up in there as they will be the final matches for TUF Brazil 4, and they are in the semifinals. The two matchups for the lightweights remaining are Joaquim Silva-Glaico Franca and Nazareno Malegarie-Fernando Bruno, and for the bantamweights, there is Mathieu Nicolau-Dileno Lopes and Bruno Korea-Reginaldo Vieira.
Rick Story vs. Erick Silva – Welterweight
Story (18-8) returns to the octagon after a leg injury that he suffered in a win over Gunnar Nelson in October, and that sums up the military man (Story still serves in the National Guard) he is as tough as they come. Silva (18-5, 1 NC) has won his last two fights, but he has been knocked out in his last two fights and while he gets out to hot starts, he has problems sustaining his pace. Still, he has fought twice since Story was hurt.
Pick: Erick Silva
Hacran Dias vs. Levan Makashvili – Featherweight
Dias (22-3-1) stopped aa two-fight skid with a win over Darren Elkins in December, and Dias needs to get back on track as he came into the UFC rolling. Makashvili (10-1) is looking to make a name for himself after winning a split decision over Mark Eddiva in his UFC debut last month, and this is a battle of a grappler (Dias) against a striker (Makashvili). Whoever imposes their will early, wins.
Pick: Hacran Dias
