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 prop plays: Stipe Miocic (-120) vs Alistair Overeem (+110) Fight Goes to Decision (+400) .5u to win 2u This is purely a value play. I favor the bout the end inside the distance, but if they both fight a smart fight, I think it would have a high chance of hitting the scorecards. Fabricio Werdum (-205) vs Travis “Happa” Browne (+188) Browne in Round One (+400) 1u to win 4u I think Werdum is getting back in there too soon after a brutal knockout loss. Browne is very motivated for this fight, which is a rematch of a five round unanimous decision he handily lost. A loss that snapped his winning streak and removed his potential title shot from reality. I think there’s a good chance he connects early in this fight and puts Werdum away. At +400, I think a first round finish is a good bet. Joanne Calderwood (+130) vs Jessica Andrade (-140) Andrade by T/KO (+290) 1u to win 2.9u Andrade in Round One (+400) .5u to win 2u I favor Andrade in this match-up, especially considering it’s at 115-pounds, and I think there’s a good chance she ends it inside the distance; most likely via T/KO and I could see it happening in the opening stanza. Sean Spencer (+105) vs Yancy Medeiros (-115) Spencer by T/KO (+475) 1u to win 4.75u Spencer in Round One (+725) 1u to win 7.25u Medeiros moves up to the welterweight division for this contest and I think it is a bad match-up for him, contrary to the fact that he is the betting favorite heading in. I think Spencer is going to outlcass him on the feet and potentially secure a T/KO stoppage.
