BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Brandon Moreno vs. Kai Kara-France 2:

Terrance McKinney, UFC lightweight: Moreno, he won the first time and I think he wins by decision but it will be close.

Alex Morono, UFC welterweight: I’m going with Brandon Moreno, he won the first fight and has a chin and can strike with Kara-France and also grapple him.

Jonathan Pearce, UFC featherweight: Moreno, probably by decision but it will be a close fight.

Adrian Yanez, UFC bantamweight: I’m a big fan of Moreno and I can’t pick again my mom’s favorite fighter, so Moreno.

Charles Rosa, UFC featherweight: Brandon Moreno. He has the heart of the champion and will bounce back in a big way.

Billy Quarantillo, UFC featherweight: I think Brandon Moreno, he’s just overall a little bit sharper and I think he wins that fight.

Cody Brundage, UFC middleweight: I think Moreno. That move to train under James Krause is big and he will only get better. I think he can submit Kara-France.

Orion Cosce, UFC welterweight: Brandon Moreno, nothing against Kara-France, I just think he’s too well-rounded for him.

Kyle Nelson, UFC lightweight: I think Moreno. He’s a little more well-rounded right now and I think he gets it done by decision.
