UFC Fight Night: Aspinall vs Tybura 7/22

UFC Fight Night: Holm vs Bueno Silva was a rather underwhelming card, headlined by Mayra Bueno Silva's ninja choke submission finish over Holly Holm. As we look ahead to next week's fights, it is worth noting that the card will be taking place at the O2 Arena in London, England, which is the reason the card is scattered with English fighters from top to bottom.

Barberena vs Muradov 185 lbs

Fun fight! Barbarena has a puncher's chance but Muradov's skills are just at too high of a level at this point in his career. 

Pick: Makmud Muradov

Confidence Level: Medium

Parkin vs Pogues 265 lbs

Parkin has fought only one opponent in his career with a winning record. Pogues should be able to handle him.

Pick: Jamal Pogues

Confidence Level: Medium

Diakese vs Alvarez 155 lbs

Pick: Marc Diakese

Confidence Level: Low

Roberts vs Parsons 170 lbs

Pick: Danny Roberts

Confidence Level: Medium

Murphy vs Culibao 145 lbs

Pick: Lerone Murphy 

Confidence Level: Medium

Herbert vs Ziam 155 lbs

Pick: Jai Herbert

Confidence Level: Low 

Muniz vs Craig 185 lbs

Incredible fight at middleweight. If the 20 lbs extra weight cut does not affect Craig negatively, I think he has a good chance to win this fight. He will be absolutely huge for the middleweight division at six foot three. After seeing his weigh-in on Friday, I am choosing to pick him to win this fight considering he did not look incredibly drained on the scales.   

Pick: Paul Craig

Confidence Level: Low

Wood vs Fili 145 lbs

Pick: Nathaniel Wood

Confidence Level: Low

McCann vs Stoliarenko 125 lbs

Molly is fed a can in Stoliarenko. Julija's only chance of winning this fight is by her patented armbar. 

Pick: Molly McCann

Confidence Level: High

Aspinall vs Tybura 265 lbs

Aspinall coming off an injury scares me, but considering that his tools are superior to those of Tybura's, and he will be fighting in front of his hometown crowd, he should be able to find a victory in this fight. 

Pick: Tom Aspinall

Confidence Level: High
