If interested in wagering on this parlay, or any bouts for this fight card, all betting lines are currently made available at Several Bookmakerss. Here is my parlay: Featherweight bout: Brian Ortega (-230) vs Diego Brandao (+190) Gabe’s Thoughts: I believe Ortega is the superior mixed martial artist heading into this 145-pound contest and that he has the brighter future in the UFC. I see him as a possible title contender in the future, whereas I think Brandao would be lucky to crack the division’s Top 10. I see “T-City” getting the better of Ortega wheever this fight goes and ultimately putting him away by T/KO or submission. Ortega is the better fighter and I believe he will get his hand raised, remaining undefeated as a pro. I think he should be a -400 betting favorite in this spot, so I see great value in him at his current asking price of -230. Gabe’s Call: Ortega by T/KO (strikes, 2:13 round 1) Lightweight bout: Drew Dober (+140) vs Scott Holtzman (-160) Gabe’s Thoughts: Dober is game and a solid lightweight, but Holtzman is simply the better fighter of the two heading into this 155-pound scrap. I see this fight playing out on the feet, where I think Holtzman will find success mixing things up and outstriking Dober for three rounds of action en route to a unanimous decision victory on the judges’ scorecards. I think he should be a -400 betting favorite heading into this match-up, so I see incredible value in him at his current offering price of -160. Gabe’s Call: Holtzman by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Gabe’s Recommended Parlay: Ortega (-230) and Holtzman (-160) at +133 for 5u to win 6.65u
