UFC Fight Night 70 is limping to the finish line but will come to you live on Saturday on Fox Sports 1.
Originally set to be The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 4 finale, the card underwent massive changes in the lead-up to the event due to an ongoing visa problem in the USA. Many fights were cancelled or shifted to other events, leaving holes on the card that needed to be filled.
That is especially the case for the preliminary card. Because of the loss of so many fights, the UFC had to put together four late-notice preliminary card fights, utilizing many new fighters to the organization and a couple of veterans.
Last time around, the prelim picks were subpar at best. We have a chance to do better here, though having just four fights won’t make a huge difference in this year’s record.
With that, let’s take a look at the prelims and make some picks.
2015 Riley’s Record: 73-43
Last Event: UFC Fight Night 69 (3-4)
