#8 The Prelims: Fight Pass card

Exciting brawler Devin Powell fights in the feature bout on Fight Pass this weekend

The feature bout on Fight Pass sees Devin Powell, a product of Dana White’s Contender Series, taking on newcomer Jesus Pinedo, a Peruvian veteran of the South American regional scene. Powell’s defense is essentially non-existent, but he’s tough and pushes a torrid pace and that could be enough to take him past Pinedo, who’s taking the fight on short notice and may suffer the infamous ‘Octagon Shock’. Powell by decision is the pick.

Finally, Nad Narimani, an English veteran who won his UFC debut in May, takes on a late replacement in the form of Brazil’s Anderson dos Santos. This looks like a bad fight for the Brazilian, particularly as he’s a natural 135lber fighting at 145lbs against a powerful wrestler in Narimani. Dos Santos has a lot of experience and could make a name for himself at 135lbs, but I expect him to lose a decision on Saturday.
