4 months agoA few days ago, news broke that Jared Gordon would be pulled from this weekend's event. While nothing official has been said as to why, we can assume that it had something to do with his last fight with Bobby Green, where Gordon got knocked out after an accidental head-butt. Stepping in on less than 48 hours of notice is newcomer Jesse Butler (12-4), who enters the UFC on a five-fight winning streak. He defeated Luis Luna via unanimous decision in his most recent bout this past February. DraftKings sees Butler as the favorite on Saturday with a salary of $6,600. Butler typically competed in the featherweight division, but he has accepted the chance to showcase his skills in a lightweight bout.--Alen Kurbasic - RotoBaller
