Kyle Kingsbury vs. Ricardo Romero
Kingsbury, spawned by Season 8 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” has shown toughness and some athletic ability, while Romero made a nice debut with an armbar submission against veteran Seth Petruzelli at UFC 116. He sustained a broken jaw, sprained knee and torn pectoral muscle in the victory. Romero holds the edge in wrestling and will need it to overcome Kingsbury’s size advantage.
The Pick: Watch for Romero to score repeated takedowns and deliverer steady ground-and-pound en route to a third-round knockout.
