Glenn said this to mmaweekly.com about his upcoming fight with Bermudez, “He’s coming to bring it and is not going to run. I wanted anyone to get on this card. I’m excited to get back in there against a top veteran. He’s been around for a while, so I’m excited to fight someone like him. I’ve gotten to work on a lot of my weaknesses in my time off.

UFC Picks
Bermudez is -250 favorite in this bout which I think is a little too high considering he has lost three of his last four fights. I think he really needs a win in this fight to prove he has what it takes to stay in the UFC. Glenn has only fought four times in the UFC and hasn’t done much. The price on Bermudez is too high for me, so I will just play the rounds to go under the total.
