UFC 229 Predictions: McGregor vs. Khabib - Early Preliminary Card Predictions

#2. Gray Maynard vs. Nick Lentz

A Fight made for Maynard!

A fight between two competitors who are both desperate for a win, this has all the making for a classic. While neither fighter has been anything close to consistent, both will be using this opportunity to bounce back and prove that they are better than what they have delivered on so far.

Maynard has had a whole host of losses that he would just as soon forget about, while Lentz's performance of late has been inconsistent to say the least. Two wins and two losses from his last four fights say all that needs to be said.

At 39, some could say that Maynard is reaching the end of his career, and will look to rack up a few more wins. In his prime, he even beat the likes of Nate Diaz, although the loudmouth fighter would take revenge in a later fight, knocking Maynard out in 2 minutes and 38 seconds of the 1st round.

Prediction: Nick Lentz beats Gray Maynard
