Sutherland enters this fight with an MMA record of 10-3, and this will be his UFC debut. Of his 10 wins, he has won 8 times by finish and has only lost by decision.

Tafa is the slight favorite in this fight, but his lack of consistency in the UFC makes Sutherland a decent betting option. Sutherland is making his UFC debut, but his ability to finish opponents cannot be ignored. Further, Tafa has lost each of his last 2 UFC fights and has a losing record in the UFC. Because of that, backing Sutherland to win his UFC debut will be our play.
