Event: UFC Apex: Eye vs. Calvillo
Date: Saturday, June 13, 2020
Time: 6:00 P.M. EST.
Location: Apex Gym, Nevada
Broadcast: ESPN+
Main Event: Jessica Eye vs. Cynthia Calvillo
Free UFC Apex Picks – Jessica Eye, slight favorite, is making her 2020 UFC debut after going 1-1 in 2019. She lost her title challenge against Valentina Shevchenko, but followed it up quite nicely with a decision victory over Viviane Araujo. She trains boxing, wrestling, BJJ, and muay thai, so her arsenal is more profound than most fighters in her division.
Cynthia Calvillo, the less experienced underdog, is making her 2020 debut as well after her bout against Antonina Shevchenko was cancelled. She beat Courtney Casey in early 2019 and ended the year with a questionable draw against Marina Rodriguez. She is moving up a weight class here and will fight at 125 instead of her normal 115.
As for the fight, it is a simple question of where the fight will take place. Calvillo will look to take Eye down but Eye owns the physical advantage. Although her takedown defense is not great, it will be difficult for Calvillo to land takedowns. Eye’s stand up is better than Calvillo’s, but I have faith in the underdog here as the better ground fighter and I think she wins a narrow decision.

Karl Roberson vs. Marvin Vettori
Free UFC Apex Picks -This fight was originally slated to happen in early May, but was ultimately cancelled. It has a little bad blood boiling, which you can take as you wish.
Both fighters are making their professional 2020 debut and this fight is an interesting one.
Roberson is the better boxer and enjoys staying at range and using his lethal kickboxing. Vettori enjoys staying at distance, throwing precise shots, and looking for takedowns after his opponent starts to respect the high game.
I think this will be a cautious fight and probably end in a decision. Vettori’s last 6 fights have ended on the scorecards, and I expect nothing to change here, so keep an eye on that prop at -180. I do like Vettori here, though.
MMA Betting Prediction: Marvin Vettori
Merab Dvalishvili vs. Ray Borg
Borg lost a decision against Ricky Simon about a month ago and did not look great doing so. How that was a split decision is beyond me, but we will rock with it.
Dvalishvili has not fought since beating Casey Kenney, which is an impressive feat in itself.
Dvalishvili owns the advantage in just about every facet of this fight, but Borg should not be a +330 underdog. Put some respect on my man’s name. Respect given, give me Merab here.
MMA Betting Prediction: Merab Dvalishvili
Andre Fili vs. Charles Jourdain
Free UFC Apex Picks – Fili hasn’t fought since losing to Sodiq Yusuff on the first card of the year. He did look good doing so, however, against one of the most game prospects the UFC has to offer.
Jourdain burst onto the UFC scene after knocking out Doo-ho Choi as a heft underdog.
Jourdain’s knockout presence does scare me, but I will take Fili as the more technical striker and efficient ground game.
MMA Betting Prediction: Andre Fili
