UFC Fight Night: Covington Vs. Lawler Predictions

6. Darko Stosic Vs. Kennedy Nzechukwu

Out of all the prospects in the UFC's 205lb division, Darko Stosic and Kennedy Nzechukwu are probably on the lower end of the spectrum. Although they're both physical specimens with plenty of power, their past appearances inside the Octagon left a lot to be desired.

Stosic lost his UFC debut to Devin Clark, who at best is a mid-level light heavyweight. Nzechukwu showed glimpses of his skill and power when he fought Paul Craig, knocking the Scotsman down repeatedly throughout the fight. However, a lack of fight IQ during the final round of the fight meant that he got caught with a last ditch triangle choke.

Although their performances were less than exciting, it's safe to say that Nzechukwu seemed like the better fighter out of the two. He's got some skill on the feet and as long as he can avoid the takedown when facing Stosic, he should be able to land at will and possibly put the Serbian away.
