UFC Fight Night Charriere vs Mariscal Odds, Picks, and Predictions: Going Toe to Toe

UFC Fight Night Williams vs Tafa Odds, Picks, and Predictions: Tafa Takes Care of Business
The UFC has high hopes for Karl Williams, but he hasn't done much to show he can be the face of a division. With Justin Tafa possessing knockout power, our UFC picks expect Williams to go night night in the octagon.
UFC Fight Night Shahbazyan vs Dobson Odds, Picks, and Predictions: Underdog Brings the Heat
