The UFC’s busy schedule continues this weekend, as the Octagon makes the return to Brazil. This time, UFC Fight Night 62 will broadcast from Rio de Janeiro, and the card is headlined by longtime Brazilian contender Demian Maia and first-time headliner Ryan LaFlare.
As is usual for most cards from Brazil, the UFC has thrown on a bevy of Brazilian talent, including up-and-comers who are looking to make a name to contenders in their respective divisions. Throw in some talent from the United States, Latin America and Japan, and you have a worldly card.
The average record of the last few UFC events continued at UFC 185, as I ran just a 4-3 record. We will look to right the ship here, as the hot start to the year has cooled a bit in recent times.
With that, let’s take a look at the prelims and make some predictions.
2015 Riley’s Record: 31-18
