Preview

With the conclusion of the Ultimate Fighter 29, a Middleweight fight see’s teammates Andre Petroski and Michael Gillmore clash. A second pick on TUF 29, Petroski made it to the semi-finals by submitting Aaron Phillips. Unfortunately that’s as far as he got, losing to now finalist Bryan Battle. Meanwhile, Michael Gillmore was added to the show due to an injury. However, Gillmore couldn’t make the most of his opportunity, falling in the opening round to Gilbert Urbina.

Prediction

I’ll admit, I haven’t watched this season of the Ultimate Fighter. It’s hard enough with the UFC and other promotions seemingly pumping out an event every week. So for this fight and the other TUF fight’s, I’m going based off tape and their resumes. Andre Petroski looks to be a powerful wrestler, who takes his opponents down and from there finishes fights. Petroski has a few decent wins on the resume, nothing spectacular, which is expected given his lack of experience. Gillmore looks to be a striker with good power. He’s aggressive and hunts for the finish. His resume is pretty lackluster, but again normal for someone with no experience. 

As for a prediction, I’m going with Petroski. I think Gillmore’s aggressiveness plays right into a wrestler like Petroski’s wheelhouse. On the mat, Gillmore doesn’t seem like he is too adept at fending off submissions. Something which I believe Petroski will exploit. So with that said, I’ll predict that Petroski wins via submission.

PICK: Andre Petroski (-500)
