FightPost Team Predictions UFC Fight Night 159, Rodriguez vs. Stephens

By Arwen Sheridan  

This week The UFC finds itself in Mexico City for Fight Night 159. There is plenty of local talent on the card with Mexico’s own Yair Rodriguez taking on America’s Jeremy Stephens at featherweight in the main event.

Fight fans will know that we are just at the beginning of a 12-weekend run of UFC events, which will round out 2019 nicely. The calendar is dotted with huge showcases, Masvidal vs Diaz and Nunes vs Randamie to name but two. Dana White has recently hinted we may even see the return of Conor McGregor before the year is out.

Fight night 159 is just the ticket to keep fans interested in the interim. Home fighters Rodriguez, Grasso and Aldana have all been tipped by the FightPost team.

Yair Rodriguez vs Jeremy Stephens 7-2
Carla Esparza vs Alexa Grasso 3-6
