Vegas 76

Early prelims...
  • Thinking Blagoy struggles with Romanov's size and strength, especially when defending the takedowns.
  • Chick fight probably will be slow going, it Petrovic has her way and gets it to the mat. Don't really expect a finish and most likely most of the fight is spent with Carolina trying to get back to her feet.

My action...
  • 3/2.21 ALEXANDER ROMANOV -136
  • 3/1.73 IVANA PETROVIC -173
  • 3/1.50 Carolina / Petrovic o2½ -200

Geez. I feel so bad for Lee. He looked so lost. I truly believe he shouldnt be fighting and is because he needs the paycheck. He didn’t last any longer than any of us would have lasted.

Wow, Lee's ready to call it a career. Dude had enormous talent but has rarely delivered. Unfortunately, I've been on wrong side backing his ass way too many times...Never again! :mad:

  • Expect fireworks early in this first fight on the main card. Ferreira (10-0) has huge power and starts quickly throwing bombs from everywhere. Ruziboev should prove more well-rounded if he can withstand early flurries, he may be able to get takedown and/or utilize his huge size advantage if he keeps fight at distance. Coin flip but I'll side with dog / under.
  • Ismael Bonfim appears the real deal and this may really cement his skillset, although the oddsmakers already seem to know by tabbing him over 300 chalk vs such a tough dangerous young stud in the "God of War". Hard not to back Bonfirm.
 
[7-6 -2.33u]
  • 3/1.27 MELISSA GATTO -236
  • 2/1.59 LIPSKI / GATTO o2½ -126
  • 3/3.90 Michael Morales Wins Inside Distance +130

Gatto is hard-nosed striker who likes coming forward with lots of head movement while throwing hard combos. She will have good success so long as she controls range and keeps the fight standing, however when taken down she has shown weakness in getting back up so she needs to stay upright at all cost...where she can dominate and get the W.
Griffin is very durable, has power, speed with enough wrestling to carry him through a 14 fight UFC career where's he's fought some of the very best 170s. But as the game continues to evolve, Michael Morales represents the new breed and likely out-guns Max wherever the fight goes.

  • 6.12/4 SEAN STRICKLAND -153

  • 3/2.17 MAGOMEDOV / STRICKLAND o3½ -138

If Strickland wises up and uses his whole game including wrestling, he should prove to big a jump in competition for Abus...who really is a serious prospect, just most likely needs more seasoning before getting into the top 5 of the division.
