Here are my live dogs: Lightweight bout: Paul Felder (-400) vs. Alex Ricci (+325) Gabe’s Thoughts: If this fight plays out on the feet, then contrary to popular opinion, I think Ricci will outbox Felder. While Felder is a solid boxer, I see him getting out-boxed on the feet in this contest. I think his best route to victory would be to wrestle, but I also think he will want to prove he is the better striker and make it an entertaining fight. I believe that will ultimately cost him, as I see Ricci out-boxing him for the majority of three rounds of action en route to picking up a unanimous-decision victory on the judges’ scorecards in his Canadian backyard. Gabe’s Call: Alex Ricci by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Gabe’s Recommended Play: Ricci (+325) Middleweight bout: Thiago Santos (-185) vs. Jack Marshman (+160) Gabe’s Thoughts: This is a rare ‘winner versus loser’ matchup in the UFC’s 185-pound division, with Marshman coming off a second-round knockout of Magnus Cedenblad in his Octagon debut and Santos coming off a first-round rear-naked choke submission loss against Eric Spicely. I believe Marshman is the better fighter of the two middleweights here, and I think he has more ways to win this fight. I think he is equally likely to win this fight by T/KO, submission or decision. I can see him knocking Santos out, edging him on the feet over three rounds, out-wrestling him over three rounds or submitting him. I think Santos could only win by early knockout or close decision. At the current odds, I do believe that Marshman is the right side for a wager, and I do favor him to get his hand raised on Sunday night. Gabe’s Call: Marshman by T/KO (punches, 4:33 round 1) Gabe’s Recommended Play: Marshman (+160) All of my content and plays are free. Your support is greatly appreciated.
