UFC Fight Night 138: Main Card Predictions

Welterweight: Alex Garcia vs Court McGee

Will Alex Garcia prove victorious over Court McGee at Fight Night 138?

A fascinating encounter between two fighters who have seen better days but are also capable of still delivering top class moments.

Both men are extremely powerful and are in fine condition and enjoy striking and working on the mat following take-downs.

Very evenly matched and difficult to call, this opening bout between Alex Garcia and Court McGee could legitimately go either way.

McGee has lost three out of his last four fights while the younger, Garcia has only fared marginally better in recent bouts.

No doubt these pair are not at the peak of their powers but expect them to still put on an excellent show.

It will be fascinating to see how this encounter will play out as Garcia is undoubtedly the quicker but McGee has the greater reach.

They are so closely matched in every other way, that it almost a coin toss to predict a winner.

However, Garcia's game plan should be to wear his larger opponent down with his quickness before trying to land a take-down. McGee should try for an early Knockout. If he does not secure it, then the likelihood increases that it will be Garcia's fight.

Prediction: Alex Garcia via Knockout
