6 Main Card Predictions For UFC Fight Night: Swanson vs. Stephens

6. Joe Ellenberger vs. James Moontasri

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQBN4I8c78c Weight Class: Lightweight A late replacement for Bryan Barberena, James "Moonwalker" Moontasri enters the UFC with a 7-1 record and finds himself up against Joe Ellenberger (14-1) in a match which Ellenberger, twin brother of UFC welterweight Jake Ellenberger, should win - but one that gives Moontasri a chance to upset an opponent with a recognizable name in his debut. Joe Ellenberger is making his own UFC debut at UFC Fight Night: Swanson vs. Stephens, but with about twice as many fights as Moontasri, and having his brother in his corner, he should have the upper hand. These kind of fights can go one of two ways: tentative, or all out brawl. Moontasri in particular has nothing to lose, as he took the fight on short notice and should get a second fight no matter what, so it could get interesting. That said, expect an Ellenberger decision here.
