Eryk Anders-Jamie Pickett Pick & Preview

Both Eryk Anders (15-8) and Jamie Pickett (13-10) desperately need a win in the final prelim bout of the night. With such a heavy slant towards Anders, I like riding with Pickett in a bout that could be worth taking a long shot on the underdog.

With no disrespect towards Anders, he is far too inconsistent of a fighter to be a -560 favorite against anyone on the UFC roster.

While Pickett comes into this one with only two wins, Anders has a losing record in his UFC career, sitting at 7-8-1.

Part of Anders’ difficulty in finding consistent success in the Octagon comes from the amount of strikes he absorbs. While he dishes out 3.56 significant strikes per minute, he eats 4.39.

This is a clear opening that Pickett can look to exploit. While he only lands 2.84 significant strikes per minute, his strategy will likely have to change coming into this one. To put it bluntly, without a win, he will likely be cut from the UFC.

It’s an ugly, yet real side to the business, but it’s one that Pickett almost certainly understands.
