CARLOS ULBERG VS NICOLAE NEGUMEREANU LOWDOWN

Fighting out of Auckland, New Zealand, Carlos Ulberg (6-1) put his poor UFC debut behind him by going on an impressive streak. Looking to pick up his third win in a row, Ulberg is coming off of knockout a victory against Tafon Nchukwi and will be aiming to produce the same end result this weekend.

As for Ulberg’s opponent this weekend, Nicolae Negumereanu (13-1) is also on an impressive run himself. Currently riding a four-fight winning streak, Negumereanu is coming off a knockout victory over Ihor Potieria back in July this year and will be looking to produce a flawless performance against the New Zealand native.

CARLOS ULBERG VS NICOLAE NEGUMEREANU PREDICTION

Heading into this light heavyweight bout, despite Ulberg having a significant height advantage, Negumereanu will have the edge in the reach department.

Negumereanu is certainly an intriguing watch when he gets going and is on form. However, he is not quick, he is not a technical striker and not an effective wrestler, but he will keep giving 110%. Negumereanu likes to wear his opponents down before looking to finish the proceedings. With Ulberg most likely going to be cautious, he will do whatever it takes to get the job done. Therefore, we suspect that Ulberg will pick Negumereanu apart using his smart jabs whilst constantly circling Negumereanu to get the decision victory.
