UFC lightweights go head-to-head on the main card for UFC Vegas 34 as the promotion returns after a week-long hiatus.

The lightweight division has historically been one of the most prolific divisions in the UFC.

Pichel has just over half of his professional fights in the UFC and his experience plays a huge role in his fights. While he continues to remain a wild striker, he has opted for a more measured approach in recent years. With Hubbard not being a massive takedown threat, Vinc Pichel may look to let his hands go a little more.
Austin Hubbard is 2-2 in his last four fights and he’s coming off a unanimous decision win over Dakota Bush. He’s had his fair share of ups and downs in his 6-fight UFC career and he’ll be looking to gain some level of consistency. He’s looking to finally set up a winning streak with a dominant display over ‘From Hell’ Pichel.

Hubbard’s in-cage performances mirror his fighting style as he’s rather inconsistent under the bright lights. Chiefly, he’s not entirely energy efficient in the contest and tends to fall off through the mid-way point in the fight. However, he’s a powerful fighter at range and can set Vinc Pichel back if he’s able to maintain a steady pace.
Prediction: Vinc Pichel to claim a unanimous decision victory
