BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Brandon Moreno vs Brandon Royval 2:

Max Griffin, UFC welterweight: Moreno by decision in a fun fight. The first one was just getting going when the injury happened. I think it will be close, but I got Moreno in this one.

Geoff Neal, UFC welterweight: Moreno beats Royal again. I think he’s the better striker and could even wrestle if he needs to, to get the win.

Jim Miller, UFC lightweight: I’ll go with Royval. I think he can outstrike Moreno, should be a fun one.

Marcus McGhee, UFC bantamweight: Moreno has this, especially in Mexico. I’m a big fan of Brandon Royval, but Moreno is the better striker and should be able to get a decision win here.

Devin Clark, UFC light heavyweight: That is a good one, but I’ll say Moreno by decision.

Chris Duncan, UFC lightweight: Brandon Moreno I think he gets it done again. I think this one goes the distance, Royval showed he was durable against Pantoja.

Chad Anheliger, UFC bantamweight: Moreno is better all around, and I think he can outstrike or outwrestle Royval here to get a decision, I think both guys are too tough to be finished.
