BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Gilbert Burns vs Jack Della Maddalena:
Max Griffin, UFC welterweight: I think Gilbert Burns will out-grapple him for 15 minutes.
Dan Ige, UFC featherweight: Burns by decision.
Davey Grant, UFC bantamweight: I think Gilbert Burns will be too much for him with his grappling.
Billy Quarantillo, UFC featherweight: That is a good fight. I like both guys, I’m going to go with Burns in this one. I just think Jack is a little unproven and Gilbert has been in there with everyone.
Kurt Holobaugh, UFC lightweight: I think Gilbert Burns is still that top guy. Della Maddalena is good, I just don’t think it’s his time now.
Bryan Battle, UFC welterweight: If I’m picking one, I’m picking Burns. I think he can out-grapple Della Maddalena here, and I think it could look similar to the Stephen Thompson fight.
Julian Erosa, UFC featherweight: It’s a good step up in competition for Della Maddalena but Burns is a tough out for anyone. I’m going with Burns.
Steven Peterson, former UFC featherweight: I’m going with Jack, I think he keeps it standing and is the much better striker.
