Here’s my parlay for Invicta FC 10 in Houston: Atomweight title bout: Michelle “The Karate Hottie” Waterson (-600) vs Herica Tiburcio (+400) Gabe’s Thoughts: I think Tiburcio is solid but may be undersized for even the 105 pound division. She will certainly be at a height and reach disadvantage heading into this five round title fight, not to mention a striking disadvantage, and I think that is a formula that she is not going to be able to overcome. Waterson is going to be two steps ahead of Tiburcio every step of the way in this match-up and I think she will ultimately earn a stoppage. I could see her ending this fight by either TKO or submission, however if Tiburcio’s heart and toughness does hold up for 25 minutes of action, I think Waterson will retain her title with a unanimous 50-45 decision from all three judges’ at ringside. Gabe’s Call: “The Karate Hottie” by T/KO (strikes, 4:11 round 4) Flyweight bout: Andrea “KGB” Lee (-350) vs Roxanne “The Happy Warrior” Modafferi (+250) Gabe’s Thoughts: “The Happy Warrior” recently snapped a six fight losing streak with a unanimous decision victory over Tara LaRosa and tonight she will be looking to string together her first pair of victories in nearly five years. Modafferi is a pioneer in women’s mixed martial arts, though her best days are behind her, as the up and coming talent of today is too much for her to contend with, and I believe “KGB” will prove to be a classic example of that. I think Lee is a solid prospect in the women’s flyweight division and I think she will get the better of Modafferi everywhere in this bout. I think her submission defense will hold up, if she does find herself in trouble. That said, I expect this scrap to play out on the feet, and while Modafferi has been improving her striking, I think she is going to be outmatched by Lee, who I think will ultimately earn a TKO stoppage over the veteran. I should note that I don’t think Modaferri is “done” by any means, as she is in fact continuing to improve as a mixed martial artist. I just think she won’t fair wait against the upper-echelon of the division, and from the looks of things, “KGB” has potential of finding herself there. This fight is a true test for both ladies, but my money is on Lee being the one who passes, and I think she will do so with flying colors. Possibly a flying armbar. Gabe’s Call: “KGB” by T/KO (strikes, 3:32 round 3) Gabe’s Recommended Parlay: Michelle Waterson (-600) parlayed with Andrea Lee (-350) for -200 4u to win 2u
