Luque/Price (+700) || 1u to win 7u
This is an excellent matchup in the UFC’s 170-pound division that sees American Top Team’s Luque look to bounce back into the win column after a recent setback when he takes on the undefeated Price in front of his fellow Brazilian’s in Sao Paulo. I expect this to be an entertaining scrap, regardless of how long it lasts; and I could see it lasting one minute or going all 15. Should these welterweights manage to take home the evening’s ‘Fight of the Night’ honors, it would certainly be the first time for both.
Zaleski/Griffin (+750) 1u to win 7.5u
I think this is going to be a fun fight in the UFC’s welterweight division. Zaleski and Griffin are both entertaining fighters, so I think this pairing is a recipe for fireworks, especially considering the fact that they are both tough to finish. Despite both of them being finishers in their own right, I favor this bout to go the distance and I think we will be in for an action-packed 15 minutes. Should these 170-pounders walk away with the ‘Fight of the Night’ bonus tonight, it would be the third time for Zaleski, while being the very first for Griffin.
