Here is my Fight Pass parlay for UFC Fight Night 112…
Light Heavyweight bout: Josh Stansbury (-185) vs. Jeremy Kimball (+155)
Gabe’s Thoughts: I expect Stansbury to get the better of Kimball in this matchup. Kimball made a short-notice promotional debut against Marcos Rogerio de Lima and lost by first-round TKO. I would not be surprised to see him get finished again in this bout, but I favor a victory on the judges’ scorecards more for Stansbury. Despite the fact that Kimball was just finished, I think he is generally tough to put away. He may end up pulling off a surprise, but I think this is Stansbury’s fight to lose, and I see him coming away with the win on Saturday night.
Gabe’s Call: Stansbury by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
Lightweight bout: Tony Martin (-160) vs. Johnny Case (+130)
Gabe’s Thoughts: I believe Martin is the superior mixed martial artist of the two heading into this 155-pound matchup, and I see him getting the better of Case everywhere. It may be competitive on the feet, but I see Martin finding success taking this fight to the mat, where he will employ his size and grappling advantages to dominate Case, likely securing a submission. I see Martin either winning a clear cut unanimous decision or making short work of Case. In either case, I think this is his fight to lose, and I believe he will get the job done this weekend. At -160, I like him for a play here, as I think he should be a -280 betting favorite in this bout.
Gabe’s Call: Martin by Submission (rear-naked choke, 3:23 round 1)
Gabe’s Recommended Parlay: Stansbury (-185) vs. Martin (-160) at +155
