UFC Fight Night 226: Gane vs. Spivak Odds, Schedule, Predictions | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
William Burgess Benoit Saint-Denis has yet to lose a UFC fight since dropping down to lightweight. He made his UFC debut as a last-minute replacement opponent for Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos at welterweight.
Since going back down to his natural weight class he certainly looks like he belongs in the UFC. He's won three-straight fights with two submissions and a TKO to his name. He has demonstrated a well-rounded arsenal with a strong kickboxing striking style and the grappling to submit opponents.
The only question is how he'll respond as the level of competition goes higher.
His last three opponents have collectively one UFC win under their belt. He's essentially fought three fighters in a row who are regional scene-level fighters.
That won't be the case against Thiago Moises. He's a veteran with a 6-4 record in the UFC with his last two fights ending in submission victories.
If he can get Saint-Denis to the mat, it's going to be trouble. But if he can't, then he just might get eaten alive with the striker's kickboxing.
Prediction: Saint-Denis via second-round TKO
