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: Max Holloway (-325) vs Ricardo Lamas (+265) Gabe’s Thoughts: I believe Holloway is the superior fighter at this point in their careers, and more specifically the superior striker. I see him finding success in keeping this fight on the feet, where he will outpoint Lamas over the course of three rounds of entertaining action to pick up a unanimous decision victory on the judges’ scorecards. I expect Lamas to be game, but I think this is Holloway’s time and he should come out with his hand raised. A finish would not surprise me, but I think he is much more likely to win this fight via decision. Gabe’s Call: Holloway by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Middleweight bout: Dan Henderson (+325) vs Hector Lombard (-400) Gabe’s Thoughts: Lombard makes his return to 185-pounds after his gas tank failed him at welterweight, resulting in a third round TKO defeat against Neil Magny in his most recent outing earlier this year. Lombard is the faster fighter of the two heading into this contest, and in my opinion, the stronger fighter. I also believe he possesses the better chin. I would not be surprised to see Henderson catch Lombard and put him away, but I think that’s the only way he can win this fight and I think the chances of that happening are very slim. I think Lombard plays it smart, uses his technique and finds the right time to put together a combination that will wobble Henderson and probably force a quick referee stoppage. If not, then I imagine a few more brutal strikes will follow to put Hendo out cold. Gabe’s Call: Lombard by T/KO (punches, 0:41 round 1) Gabe’s Recommended Parlay: Holloway (-325) and Lombard (-400) at -158 for 4.9u to win 3.1u
