The UFC is closing out its 2014 in Brazil with UFC Fight Night 58. Live on Saturday, the card boasts a main event with a former UFC champion and a rising middleweight contender.
Former light heavyweight champ Lyoto Machida throws down with CB Dollaway in the main event, while former bantamweight champ Renan Barao meets Mitch Gagnon in the co-main event. Those two fights head up an interesting card, and before that we have some intriguing prelims.
Last weekend featured a doubleheader, and despite a strong showing at The Ultimate Fighter 20 Finale, I went just .500 with UFC on Fox 13. I look to close out the year with a strong showing in order to raise my winning percentage.
Without further ado, here are the preliminary card predictions for UFC Fight Night 58.
2014 Riley’s Record: 175-106
Last Event: TUF 20 Finale and UFC on Fox 13 (8-6)
