UFC Copenhagen Team Picks

In the co-main event of the night UFC newcomer Mark Madsen makes his debut against Danilo Belluardo.
Madsen is an Olympic silver medalist from Denmark who will be riding the favor of the crowd. His opponent lacks similar credentials but has made the walk to the octagon before, unfortunately getting stopped by TKO.

Gunnar Nelson will be looking to bounce back from his split decision loss to welterweight contender Leon Edwards back in March.
Originally set to face Thiago Alves, Nelson will now be facing Gilbert Burns riding a three fight win streak.
With 20 submissions between the two competitors this should be a fun bout for the BJJ enthusiasts.

Khalil Rountree’s recent form has been a pleasure for the fans to watch and not having seen action since April you know he is keen to put on a show.
Standing across the cage from Rountree will be Ion Cutelaba who is determined to get back in the win column after a disappointing submission loss to Glover Teixeira.
Both men have been out of action since April so this is the dark horse for action fight of the night.

Next up we will see Michal Oleksiejczuk make his third trip to the octagon for 2019 after serving a 12 month USADA suspension. With 10 KOs from 17 fights Michal is an action fighter that hasn’t lost inside the cage since 2014.
He will be fighting stalwart Ovince St. Preux who needs a win after dropping three of his last four fights.
This could determine if St. Preux remains in the UFC so expect to see a dog fight.

Finally we have Nicolas Dalby facing Alex Oliveira in Dalby’s second UFC run.
Oliveira is looking to rebound from two losses in a row after a fight of the night performance in April let the victory escape his grasp.
Dalby was last seen competing at Cage Warriors 106 where the fight was called off due to unsafe surface. The fight was such a bloody battle the fighters were left slipping and the referee had to make the call.
With such a spectacular ending it should be no surprise Dalby has found his way back to the UFC after exiting the company in 2016.
