UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs Erceg kicks off on Saturday, March 29th at 4 pm Pacific/7 pm Eastern at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City. The fight I'm most excited about is Kelvin Gastelum vs Joe Pyfer. Let's take a look at what each fighter needs to do to win

Kelvin Gastelum is a veteran of the game. With a professional record of 19-9, Gastelum is no stranger to the octagon. At a +400 underdog, there is incredible value here for the retail gambler. Fans and odds makers alike forget Gastelum is already a Hall of Famer. He put on one of the greatest fights I've ever seen against Israel Adesanya. If Kelvin keeps it on the feet, he can take Pyfer into deep water. Kelvin's biggest weakness going into this one is the ground, and by the ground, I mean wrestling and beef. Joe Pyfer is a strong grappler, and Kelvin struggles with the scales. Kelvin needs to keep his wrestling sharp and a surplus on his MyFitnessPal, and he'll have a solid shot

Joe Pyfer is a newcomer compared to Kelvin. However, Pyfer is young and boasts a strong record of 13-3. He's a very well-rounded fighter. His wrestling is strong, and his punches are powerful. He definitely has the power to shut Kelvin's lights out. Pyfer's biggest weakness going into this fight is his lack of experience. The veteran has plenty of experience in these big moments, and Gastelum will be the biggest test of his career


Prediction: Pyfer by submission
