Matthew Semelsberger: 31-year-old desperate to halt three-fight skid
Matthew Semelsberger (11-7) has lost his last three fights in the UFC and he will feel like he is fighting for his future at the Apex this Saturday. His last fight saw a unanimous decision go in the favour of Preston Parsons and that leaves Semelsberger having lost three in a row and in desperate need of a victory here.
Charles Radtke: Welterweight aiming to bounce back from Prates loss
Charles Radtke (9-4) was riding a six-fight winning streak before his last bout which ended in Carlos Prates knocking him out in the first round back in June. Given how well Prates is doing, Radtke should not be too deflated by that loss but he will want to bounce back right away from that setback.
Matthew Semelsberger vs Charles Radtke Prediction
It has been a tough 18 months for Matthew Semelsberger and he will be eager to snap this losing skid he is on but Charles Radtke will be just as hungry to bounce back.
Semelsberger has been fighting for over four years and has had ten fights during that time. He has won five and lost five, but those losses are coming more frequently of late and he looks to have reached his ceiling in the welterweight division.
Charlie Radtke has only had three fights in the Octagon and after winning his first two, lost his last one after a knee to the body by Prates. He will now aim to get back on track and we marginally favour him to do so.
Semelsberger has been incredibly active but that is not paying off for him right now. Radtke can compound his troubles and extend his losing streak.
Prediction: Charles Radtke to win
