UFC 274 Odds: Rua-Saint Preux prediction, odds and pick (ClutchPoints)

The main card of UFC 274 features a fun and strange rematch between former champion Shogun Rua and Ovince Saint Preux.

The pick is for Ovince Saint Preux to land big shots and find the knockout just like in the first fight. The first round is going to be where the fight is decided and whoever lands the bigger shots will decide the fight. The key to victory is to pressure early, land the leg kicks, and score the knockout in the first round. The southpaw has big power and it should be too much for Rua to take in the first round. The Brazilian is the better striker technically than Ovince Saint Preux and should land some big shots. Saint Preux is coming off of two losses in a row to Jamahal Hill and Tanner Boser, a loss here could put his UFC career in jeopardy.
