Here is my parlay: Welterweight bout: Santiago Ponzinibbio (-160) vs Zak Cummings (+140) Gabe’s Thoughts: Zak Cummings is tough and I am a fan. He has looked incredible since dropping from middleweight down to the UFC’s 170-pound division, discluding a hiccup against Gunnar Nelson; a fight which I believe he was winning until the fight finally hit the mat, where Nelson is an absolute shark. He’s had a nice run since that loss, but I think there’s a good chance that run ends here, as he takes on Argentina’s Poninibbio. I believe the Argentinian is the suprior striker heading into this contest and I think that will be the difference. I see Ponzinibbio outstriking Cummings for the majority of three rounds to pick up a nod from the judges at Octagon-side; potentially scoring a finish along the way. I think his takedown defense is good enough to keep this fight standing long enough to win two out of three rounds, or long enough to put Cummings away. At -160, I feel Ponzinibbio is the right side for a play here. Gabe’s Call: Ponzinibbio by T/KO (strikes, 3:33 round 1) Welterweight bout: Court McGee (-225) vs Dominique Steele (+175) Gabe’s Thoughts: I believe McGee is the superior mixed martial artist heading into this welterweight contest. I think he is the better striker and grappler; i see him using his solid takedown defense to defend Steele’s takedown attempts, keep the fight on the feet and outstrike him for a unanimous decision victory on the judges’ scorecards, should the fight go the distance, because I think McGee has a decent chance of ending this one via T/KO. It is also worth noting that McGee will have an advantage in cardio heading into this bout, which could be another key to victory should the fight reach the judges’ scorecards for a decision. Gabe’s Call: McGee by T/KO (punches, 1:28 round 2) Gabe’s Recommended Parlay: Ponzinibbio (-160) and McGee (-225) at +134 for 1.75u to win 2.35u
