Holloway (-205) vs. Poirier (+170)
The main event features Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier meeting up for the second time ever but a lot has changed since they first faced off.
[dfads params=’groups=226&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
When these two teams faced off in 2012 Poirier took him to the ground and dominated him with armbar and a triangle choke.
That gives people hope that are betting on Poirier because he did beat him but that was back in 2012 and he really doesn’t stand a chance in this one.
Holloway is going to throw a fury of punches and has the conditioning to take this fight five rounds if he needs too.
I don’t think that will be the case though. Look for Holloway to finish this fight in the second or third round, and raise the belt once again.
MMA Betting Pick: Holloway KO
Gastelum (+150) vs. Adesanya (-175)
Kelvin Gastelum and Israel Adesanya are the first championship fight to go off, and it matches two guys with different fighting styles.
Gastelum has knockout power from anywhere and has shown time and time again that it doesn’t matter how gassed he is, he can knock you out.
For Adesanya, he has a massive reach advantage in this fight and he needs to use that to his advantage if he wants the belt.
I think Gastelum offers great value here and he will get the knockout punch. Cash the tickets at plus money.
MMA Betting Pick: Gastelum +150
Anders (-200) vs. Rountree (+160)
Anders and Rountree are both really talented fighters that have been inconsistent throughout his career and it seems time and time again they lose matches they shouldn’t.
For Anders he has done a good job of controlling fights and getting his opponent up against the fence. For Rountree he likes to counter punch and wait for his opponent to make a mistake and then he jumps on them and knocks them out.
In this fight I think Rountree can wait him out, and find a knockout.
MMA Betting Pick: Rountree +160
