BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Jared Cannonier vs. Kelvin Gastelum:

Maycee Barber, UFC flyweight: I’m going to go with Gastelum. Both are super durable but I think Gastelum’s wrestling will be the difference.

Brandon Royval, UFC flyweight: You are gonna make me pick two guys that are bigger than me on my card that could beat me up (laughs). Gastelum has been around and it’s super motivating to see what he has done so I’ll lean towards him.

Vinc Pichel, UFC lightweight: I have to go with Cannonier, I lost some faith in Gastelum after his last couple of performances.

Brian Kelleher, UFC bantamweight: That is a tough one to pick, I like both of them. Gastelum looked better as of late, and I think Gastelum will be faster and be the first to punch and outpoint Cannonier.

Adrian Yanez, UFC bantamweight: Cannonier looked good against Whittaker but coming off a layoff. You can never count out Gastelum so I’m going to go with Gastelum.

Casey Kenney, UFC bantamweight: That is a good fight but I like Cannonier to get back in the win column likely by decision as Gastelum is durable.

Alex Perez, UFC flyweight: I think Cannonier gets it done, could be by stoppage.

Ramiz Brahimaj, UFC welterweight: Man, I’m torn. I have to go with Gastelum in this one, I think his wrestling will be the difference.
