UFC Seattle: Israel Adesanya vs. Joe Pyfer picks and predictions
See who we think will win in the Climate Pledge Arena this weekend.
The UFC heads to the Pacific Northwest this weekend with UFC Seattle, live at Climate Pledge Arena. And they’ve brought a former champ along with them.
Israel Adesanya might be the biggest star to grace the Paramount+ era yet. And he’s got a tough match-up in the form of the rising Joe Pyfer, owner of perhaps the worst nickname in the sport. Look it up, I’m not repeating it.
The co-main is Alexa Grasso vs. Maycee Barber 2 (for some reason).
There’s a lot of PNW content on the rest of the card. Spokane’s Michael Chiesa will have his retirement fight opposite Florida man Niko Price. Yakima’s Julian Erosa has drawn Lerryan Douglas. Terrance McKinney, also of Spokane, will run at Kyle Nelson. And Enumclaw’s Chase Hooper has Lance Gibson Jr.. Ricky Simon, of lesser Vancouver, is also on the card. He fights Adrian Yanez.
There’s also Mansur Abdul-Malik vs. Yousri Belgaroui and Ignacio Bahamondes vs. Tofiq Musayev. Those should be bangers.
Scroll down to see who we are picking this weekend. We killed it with UFC London. Steph did the best going a whopping 17-2. No one did worse that 13-6, though.
Steph remains in the lead; a couple of points ahead of me. Steph and I remain perfect on our lock picks, too. See who we’re picking below.
