Peruvian Jesus Pinedo replaces Claudio Puelles and takes on Devin Powell. Pinedo is a -215 favorite while Powell is +185.
I think Pinedo is getting too much love in this fight...his UFC debut. Powell has one win and two losses in the UFC with one of those coming to Drakkar Klose who is widely considered to be a very good prospect. Powell was soundly beaten in the fight but fought him hard and was tough throughout the fight. The kid is far from a polished fighter in the UFC but he is a fighter that is tough and has a good solid chin. He is going to fight you.
Pinedo has won six straight matches but his competition is suspect.
Powell hasn't looked all that bad in his three fights. He very easily could've gotten the decision over Darrell Horcher and could easily be 2-1.
This is the best fighter Pinedo has seen thus far and at 22-years-old and making his UFC debut, I think the line is way too high.
I'm taking the dog Powell but could I see a Pinedo win? Sure, but Powell is tough and will fight. He's a pro.
