Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos: Vet coming off unanimous decision loss
Elizeu Zaleski (24-8-1) is coming off a unanimous decision loss at the hands of Randy Brown at UFC 302 and he will be eager to get back to winning ways here. He was due to rematch Nicolas Dalby who beat him back via split decision back in 2015 but Dalby was forced to withdraw and now he meets UFC newcomer Zach Scroggin. The three-time Fight of the Night fighter will not be phased by that at the age of 37 and he will be fired up to get the win as always.
Zach Scroggin: 28-year-old newcomer brings 7-0 record into UFC debut
Zach Scroggin (7-0) has answered the call after Nicolas Dalby pulled out of fighting Elizeu Zaleski and he will be desperate to take advantage of this shot. He has been dominating allcomers in his relatively short career so far with knockouts and submissions and now he faces a stern test of his credentials in this major step up in quality.
Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos vs Zach Scroggin Prediction
This is certainly a baptism of fire for UFC newcomer Zach Scroggin as he comes into the UFC to make his debut and face Elizeu Zaleski in the welterweight division. Fair play to Scroggin for answering the call but this is going to be one tough assignment.
Zaleski is coming off a loss but he is mightily impressive having fought at a high level for years. It is hard to see him underestimating Scroggin or showing any signs of complacency. Expect the veteran Brazilian to get the job done.
Prediction: Elizeu Zaleski to win
