UFC 196 Main Card
#12 Corey Anderson (8-1) vs. Tom Lawlor (9-5, 1 NC)
After winning The Ultimate Fighter 19, Corey Anderson has proven himself to be a solid member of the Light Heavyweight division. He’s won four of his last five fights, and will be looking to continue his momentum with a win on PPV against Tom Lawlor. Lawlor is an uneven veteran, and while Anderson should have an advantage in this fight, Lawlor’s always possessed one-punch power, and if the fight moves to the ground, Anderson will need to watch his neck, or Lawlor will choke him out. That being said, Anderson’s wrestling ability should be enough to keep him from the mat, and barring any major mistake, should help him to another UFC victory, this one on a grand stage.
Prediction: Anderson with the TKO victory keeps moving up the Light Heavyweight rankings.
