The UFC returns to Brazil on Saturday, as the anticipated UFC 190 comes to fans live on pay-per-view. Headlined by female bantamweight ace Ronda Rousey and top contender Bethe Correia, the card boasts a seven-fight main card that will bring extra action for the fans.
Before that we have the preliminary card, which is strong on talent. Guys like former Strikeforce champion Rafael Cavalcante, UFC title challenger Demian Maia and rising star Warlley Alves all grace the undercard, making the prelims just as must-see as the main card.
Last weekend was not a great one for the prelim picks here, so this writer hopes to improve this time around. We are nearly eight months into the year, and we hope to push the winning percentage higher than it is.
With that, let’s examine the prelims and make some picks for this Saturday’s event.
2015 Riley’s Record: 93-58
