Young vs Bilder Prediction

This fight features two men heading in opposite directions. Shane Young had a promising start to his MMA career but has gone just 2-3 since joining the UFC. He's also suffered back-to-back losses, most recently falling to Omar Morales by unanimous decision at UFC 260.

On the other side, Blake Bilder is set to make his UFC PPV debut after a submission win over Alex Morgan on Dana White's Contender Series 2022. Even more impressive is the fact that the 32-year-old has yet to taste defeat in his MMA career, leaving time to tell if that trend continues.

Although Young is the more experienced fighter, it's hard trusting someone who hasn't won a fight in three years. Momentum is clearly on Bilder's side, as well as the fact that he's more accurate with his strikes and takes less of a beating than his opponents.

It'll be a competitive matchup, but I see Bilder pulling off the upset in enemy territory.

Winner: Blake Bilder
