CLAUDIO PUELLES VS CHRIS GRUETZEMACHER LOWDOWN
Prior to his recent win against Jordan Leavitt, the last time we saw Claudio Puelles (10-2) in action was over two years. The Peruvian will be looking to make up for lost time. "El Nino" is 4-1 in his last five fights and is currently 3-1 since signing on with the UFC. Puelles will be hoping to make it three wins in a row this weekend.
At the age of 35, Chris Gruetzemacher (15-4) is currently enduring an odd run of form. Despite winning the last time we saw him in action, Chris is 2-3 in his last five fights. Gruetzemacher's last defeat came against Alexander Hernandez a year ago. Therefore, after his win over Rafa Garcia, Gruetzemacher will be itching to make it two wins on the bounce.
CLAUDIO PUELLES VS CHRIS GRUETZEMACHER PREDICTION
Gruetzemacher has endured a tough UFC stint since earning a contract through 'The Ultimate Fighter.' Puelles will hope that his advantage in size and reach will pay dividends this weekend. The Peruvian should get his top game going in an attempt to get the nod on the judge's scorecards. Gruetzemacher will have the edge on the feet. With his decent cardio, Gruetzemacher has the ability to go at a consistent pace for the full 15 minutes.
