Full main card and prelim picks for Cejudo vs. Yadong

The UFC will flee to the northernmost major cities of the United States this Saturday for a Seattle card.

Card lost some fights due to injuries as Dominic Cruz escaped from his fight with Rob Font and retired after suffering a shoulder injury at training camp.

A tough break.

But there are still 12 fights to bet on Saturday's cards.

Saturday cards start at 6pm on ESPN+, so below I'll explain my favorite selections.

UFC Seattle predictions

Henry Sejude vs. Son Yadong

Sonjadon, a two-man fighter on the other side of his career, defeated Ricky Simon and Chris Gutierrez in the main event spot and is extremely well exposed to five rounds of battles.

It is an MMA Brainac Agiist like Henry Sejude who puts this fight in danger for him, who pays close attention to his opponents in a way that is almost competitive.

Cejudo makes no mistakes and has an incredible wrestling pedigree.

Yadon didn't keep much of a takedown and was dragged onto the mat by Ricky Simon and Petr Yang.

Yadong has gotten up and doing a good job when he becomes Takendown and it's fair to say that Yadong has gotten much better since losing a majority decision against Cody Stamann at the age of 22.

But I can't overcome the fact that Sejude has a grappling life under his belt, and I'm not leaning forward when it comes to strikes.

This fight stabs a bit with Cejudo by betting (1.67 units to get 1.67 units of units) to travel distance (1.67 units).

Pick: Fighting is distance (-160, BET365) | Cejudo by decision (+370, betrivers)

Brendan Allen vs. Anthony Hernandez

These two fought earlier in January 2018 when Anthony Hernandez defeated Brendan Allen in a five-round decision.

The fighting betting trend I have consistently targeted is a fight to keep distance between enemies I have fought or trained with before.

Allen was actually preferred in that fight at -190 if you're going to see him watching the fight.

Hernandez is a big favorite seven years later after beating Allen in the first fight.

We've seen these two grapples and Hernandez has a good scramble against takedowns, but at this point there is definitely a threat of better submission.

He's improved dramatically, and I think these two have a lot of finishing skills, but I think familiarity will help you cancel it.

I consider him a better striker, so I bet on this fight to go far and stab a bit with Allen to win the decision.

He should try to avoid grappling, and Hernandez is smoothed out there.

Pick (s): The fight will be distnace (-150, betmgm)|Allen (+550, ESPN bet)
