Preview

In one of the UFC’s deepest divisions, a Lightweight showdown pits Vinc Pichel against Austin Hubbard. Pichel enters this fight on a two fight win streak, and a winner of six of his last seven fights. The former TUF competitor has come a long way since being ragdolled in his UFC debut by Rustam Khabilov. Meanwhile, Hubbard bounced back in his most recent fight, defeating Dakota Bush. In six fights in the UFC, Hubbard has traded wins and losses. He has yet to win or lose two consecutive fights. Does he buck the trend here?

Prediction

This is a fun fight, but one that I see Vinc Pichel winning. If this man were younger and more active, I’d even claim he’d be a top contender in the division within the next few years. Unfortunately he’s not either, but he’s a good fighter and a handful for most lightweights. With legit knockout power, excellent strength and evolving wrestling abilities, Pichel has made a habit of winning as we’ve seen.

While I don’t want to discredit Austin Hubbard in this fight, as his gas tank and scrappiness are intangibles most don’t have - I just don’t see him overcoming the strength of Pichel. I envision Pichel having his way on the feet early and then using his wrestling throughout the later rounds to neutralize Hubbard. The one worry I have is that Hubbard might be the fresher man in round three, but out of his thirteen wins, only one has come in round three. So with that, I have Pichel winning this fight via decision.
