Dusko Todorovic vs. Robert Valentin UFC Fight Night 283 expert pick, prediction
Death, taxes, and Mick Maynard drowning us with as many random middleweight matchups as possible on Fight Night cards.
I'm honestly shocked that Dusko Todorovic and Robert Valentin are still on the UFC roster, but the promotion clearly isn't picky when it comes to region-appropriate card filler.
Although Todorovic is always seemingly fighting with one foot in the grave, he is the party with a solid edge when it comes to both skills and experience.
To Valentin's credit, he has shown some semblance of improvement since moving shop to train with camps like Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas. That said, it's ultimately hard to be confident in a processless wildman as the betting favorite.
For that reason, I'll take a flier on the underdog in Todorovic to find a finish on the floor in Round 2.
