The Matchup: Escovedo’s debut in the UFC is a feel good story, specifically for fans of the West Coast scene that have followed his career. After a staph infection put his career on hold for approximately three years, he returned in 2009.
Barao is a product of the prosperous Brazilian MMA scene, where prospects with eye-popping records are more common than somewhere else in the world. With a 25-1 ledger and a 2-0 record in the WEC, he is fairly talented and experienced -- a great mixture when you are just 24.
With solid fierce and an experienced submission game, Barao’s threatening to beat if you are not an elite takedown artist with a scorching top game, and Escovedo is not. Instead, Escovedo will have to trade on the feet to Barao’s fancy and may have worry verbalizing where the bout takes place. Watch UFC 130 Live Stream now.
The Pick: Watch for Barao to mix attacks to moderate up Escovedo before closing hard for a stoppage victory in the second or third round.
