Neil Seery (15-11, 2-2 UFC) vs Jon delos Reyes (8-4, 1-2 UFC)THE MATCHUP: Seery, a must-see attraction for any of the organization’s trips to the British Isles, steps into the main-card spotlight here. Seery’s game is built around his awkward boxing. Switching stances and utilizing lots of lateral movement, Seery likes to play the counter puncher, using combinations to punish aggressive opponents without having to open himself up to takedowns. Reyes will be playing right into Seery’s hands with his forward-moving assault, but his power -- and Seery’s relative lack thereof -- should make things interesting.
ODDS: Seery (-155), Reyes (+135)
THE PICK: Seery has the gas tank to fight at a fast pace for all three rounds and the defense to keep this fight on the feet for as long as he wants. The pick is Seery by TKO in round three.
