Fun card with several live dogs going tonight.

Been hot lately until last week, finish 294 at 7-8-1 -8.23u so we look to get back on track tonight!

Fernandez may be the newcomer, but he will be at home and has a well rounded arsenal. He likes low kicks to legs and body. He will show some solid TDD defense and if he can keep the fight standing, Diakiese will eventually gas if he don't get the take-down and finish in first 2 rounds. Marc will be pushing the pace hard early on looking for finish but I can see him being the one that gets finished, gimme the dog!
The odds make it tough to back Moura so I'll go with the under for a modest play. Shapes up as a mismatch.
Angela Hill at 15-13 is probably the UFC fighter with the most losses, at least that comes to mind. She battles, takes and fight and usually delivers exciting fights, so I can understand why the UFC keeps her around. This fight should be fun, with both fighters happy to stand and throw. Angela is super tough, always moves forward and make it a dogfight...her cardio is top level as well.

rest of the prelims

Bukauskas has been around a long time and his experience may be enough, along with managing his gas tank and scoring well with the judges off his veteran savvy.

Viera is a World Champ at BJJ and will be looking to get it to the ground and finish with a sub, no secret but it will still be hard to stop it.
This is a very dangerous fight for Borralho without a full camp. Abus have proven he can be beat so this isn't an easy call, but I do believe the value is with the dog here.
Nascimento has looked great lately, displaying his striking vs Latifi and grappling vs Bosner. He will continue to work the whole time. Mayes will likely try to maintain distance and use his reach but Rodrigo will eventually get him against the cage and to the ground for a possible late finish or scorecard domination.
Bonfirm will be far more skilled, but Dalby has been around and has a few veteran tricks to use. Bonfirm's best path will likely be a sub once he secures a take-down
Like Lewis but no bet on main event
