SeungWoo Choi vs. Kevin Vallejos UFC Fight Night 254 preview
Choi (11-7 MMA, 4-6 UFC) will look to bounce back from a first-round stoppage against Steve Garcia last July. Prior to that setback, Choi won a unanimous decision over Jaro Errens to stop a three-fight skid. ... Vallejos (14-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) makes his debut following a September appearance on Dana White's Contender Series. There, he stopped Cam Teague in the first round to extend his current streak to three.
SeungWoo Choi vs. Kevin Vallejos UFC Fight Night 254 expert pick, prediction
Despite headlining the card with another awful middleweight rematch, the UFC matchmakers, to their credit, smartly booked a featherweight action fight between Choi and Vallejos to kick off the main card.
Vallejos really impressed me with his boxing on Dana White's Contender Series, so seeing him show up as a favorite here is no surprise.
Still, Choi will have an undeniable experience edge in what is ultimately a big step up for Vallejos. Therefore, I'd be careful about parlaying up Vallejos in a fight with a high propensity for fireworks early.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Choi attempt to fight smarter early by mixing things up, but his habit of brawling will likely be brought out by Vallejos' aggression.
The pick is Vallejos by knockout in Round 2.
