UFC 128 Preview: The Prelims

Middleweights
Constantinos Philippou vs. Nick Catone

The Matchup: Catone has a big an edge in wrestling, with a stronger pedigree here.

Catone, who has not fought in more than a year, should look to use his standup to keep Philippou occupied defending strikes and time his takedown attempts appropriately. The beneficiary of a last-minute shuffle of the UFC 128 deck, Philippou is unbeaten in his past eight appearances.

The Pick: Favor Catone in a match where his wrestling wears down Philippou en route to a late stoppage.
