If interested in wagering on any bouts for this fight card, all betting lines will be made available at Several Bookmakers. Here are my prop plays: Jake Matthews (-450) vs Andrew Holbrook (+400) Holbrook by Submission (+755) 1u to win 7.55u I think this is a realistic outcome to this lightweight match-up and I could see the massive underdog pulling the upset with a submission finish. Khalil Rountree (-135) vs Tyson Pedro (+125) Fight Goes to Decision (+240) 1u to win 2.4u Pedro by Decision (+535) 1u to win 2.4u Contrary to popular opinion, I think these 205-pounders survive any early trouble to battle it out for a judges’ decision, where I favor Pedro to earn the nod largely in part due to his superior grappling. Seo Hee Ham (-120) vs Danielle Taylor (+110) Taylor by Decision (+235) 1u to win 2.35u I see value in this line, as I think it is the most likely outcome to this women’s strawweight affair. Chris Camozzi (-220) vs Daniel Kelly (+200) Kelly by Decision (+324) 1u to win 3.24u I slightly favor Camozzi to get the win here but his poor takedown defense could cost him another decision here, should Kelly prove to have a good fight IQ. Richard Walsh (-105) vs Jonathan Meunier (-105) Meunier by Submission (+585) 1u to win 2.35u On paper, Walsh has a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu edge over Meunier, considering he is a brown belt, while Meunier wears a purple belt. However, in reality, I think Meunier is more likely to submit Walsh than the other way around. I got the Meunier by Submission prop at +910 last night, but I think it still holds value at +585. Dan Hooker (-160) vs Jason Knight (+150) Knight by Submission (+995) 1u to win 9.95u Knight has an excellent submission game and I think he can capitalize on the mat and force a tap from Hooker. At +995, I think this betting line holds tremendous value, as I see this as being a realistic outcome to this featherweight contest.
