5 Predictions For UFC 195

5. Tony Sims Vs. Abel Trujillo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyzX1Q9XW4E Weight Class: Lightweight An injury to Ultimate Fighter winner Kelvin Gastelum saw this lightweight bout between Tony Sims and Abel Trujillo bumped up to the main card this week. Which means that, in all honesty, the UFC didn't feel it was main card worthy until the injury bug struck. Tony Sims (12-3) is coming off a loss in August to Canadian Olivier Aubin-Mercier, and is 1-1 in the UFC overall. Abel Trujillo (12-7), meanwhile, has the same number of wins, but far more UFC experience. He's coming off losses to Tony Ferguson and Gleison Tibau, but that Tibau loss now comes with an asterisk, as Tibau failed multiple drug tests connected to the fight, both prior to the bout and on fight night - thus expect that loss for Trujillo to become a No Contest. That's good news for Abel, since otherwise, he might have been fighting for his job here. Instead, win or lose, he may get to fight another day in the UFC - but this is a matchup where he should have the edge thanks to the level of competition he has been facing. Look for him to pick up the victory.
