If interested in wagering on these plays, or any plays for this fight card, all betting lines will be made available at Several Bookmakerss. Here are my plays: Atomweight title bout: Ayaka Hamasaki (-170) vs Amber Brown (+130) Gabe’s Thoughts: I believe Brown is the superior fighter heading into this 105-pound title fight and believe she will get the better of Hamasaki over the course of 25 minutes of action for a unanimous decision victory on the judges’ scorecards. I see her getting the better of the Japanese fighter in the clinch, as well as on the mat with her heavy pressure from top position. I see Brown getting her hand raised tomorrow night and having the Invicta atomweight title wrapped around her waist. I think this is her fight to lose and think she should be a -180 betting favorite heading in, so I really like her for a value play at her current underdog price of +130. Gabe’s Call: Brown by Unanimous Decision (49-46, 49-46, 49-46) Gabe’s Recommended Play: Brown (+130) 3u to win 3.9u Flyweight bout: Jennifer Maia (+135) vs Vanessa Porto (-175) Gabe’s Thoughts: I think Porto is a rightful betting favorite here and believe he should be a bigger favorite. Maia may be able to keep things close on the feet, but I see Porto mixing it up with takedowns and just getting the better of her everywhere. Maia could end up making this a close one, or Porto could walk away with it, but whatever happens within the 15 minutes of action, I think the fight culminates with Porto getting her hand raised. At her current offering price of -175, I think she is worth a wager. Gabe’s Call: Porto by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) Gabe’s Recommended Play: Porto (-175) 1.75u to win 1u
