Rafael Fiziev vs. Rafael Dos Anjos
Rafael Dos Anjos Moneyline (+180)
We love this (+180) price on the highly experienced underdog Rafael Dos Anjos. While Fiziev might be the more flashy and dangerous striker, Dos Anjos also has good striking and should have an edge in cardio and grappling. This is a 5 round main event, which many believe is a big advantage for Dos Anjos. We've seen Rafael Fiziev slow down in 3 round fights, so this will be a big cardio test in his first 5 round fight. Regardless of the outcome of this fight, this is one of those spots where there is simply too much value on a high level fighter to pass up. We will ride with the underdog and look for an upset in the main event.
Tresean Gore vs. Cody Brundage
Tresean Gore Moneyline (-135)
Here we have a dangerous striker in Tresean Gore taking on former college wrestler Cody Brundage. Both of these fighters are 28 years old, and both have limited UFC experience. Tresean Gore is 0-1 in the UFC, losing his only bout by decision to Bryan Battle. Gore was not able to land the big shot to put Battle out, and he lacked volume in that fight. We expect to see a more aggressive version of Tresean Gore in this fight. His takedown defense seems to be decent, and it will be key for Gore to prevent Cody Brundage from taking this fight to the ground. Our bet is one unit on Tresean Gore to win, with an additional sprinkle on him to win by knockout.
