Nick Klein vs Heraldo Souza Prediction

Tuesday’s middleweight main event features two top prospects aiming to earn their place in the UFC.

Fighting out of Wisconsin, Klein has finished each of his last two opponents via rear naked choke. The 29-year-old American has racked up four finishes in his career, with two knockouts and two submission victories. He should be slightly bigger than his counterpart when they step in the cage on Tuesday night, but lacks the level of experience of the Brazilian.

Meanwhile, Souza is another in a long line of MMA fighters to hail from Curitiba, Brazil. He’s worked his way through the SFT ranks in his native Brazil, last knocking out Andre Fischer in April to win the middleweight title. He loves to finish his fights, with three knockouts and five submission victories so far in his career.

Souza is the smaller fighter, but he’s far more athletic. The Brazillian is also very creative with his attacks, and possesses the fast hands necessary to end this bout quickly. Back Heraldo Souza to win the Dana White’s Contender Series Week 10 main event.

• DWCS Klein vs Souza Pick: Souza to win (-162)

Nick Piccininni vs Luis Gurule Prediction

If you watch Dana White’s Contender Series, you saw flyweight Nick Piccininni (7-0) defeat Jack Duffy in Week 3 via split decision. This fight was suppose to be a rematch of that bout, after White himself disagreed with the decision. However, Duffy is a late scratch with the undefeated Luis Gurule (9-0) in on short notice.

A Fortis MMA prospect, Piccininni has come up through the Xtreme Fight Night and Fury FC circuit. He’s an impressive wrestler who is still getting his bearings in the striking world, while usually eating a punch or two for his efforts.  The 27-year-old has taken out five of his opponents with submissions, finishing three straight bouts before his split decision victory over Duffy.

Ranked as the number two flyweight in North America, Gurule has made his name in LFA and Fury FC. Impressively, he finished five straight fights to begin his professional career. Gurule last took the cage just three weeks ago, where he destroyed Jacob Silva with an arm triangle choke at Fury FC 96.

While Gurule is a huge threat on the ground, expect Piccininni’s wrestling background to allow him to keep this fight standing. Look for Piccininni to earn a UFC contract with another decision victory.

• DWCS Piccininni vs Gurule Pick: Nick Piccininni to win (-135)
