Here is my three –way parlay for UFC Fight Night 41… Featherweight bout: Niklas Backstrom (+205) vs Tom Niinimaki (-245) Gabe’s Prediction: I am expecting Niinimaki to use his grappling to pick up his second win inside the Octagon, possibly setting his sights on a top 20 opponent. Gabe’s Call: Niinimaki by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-28) Lightweight bout: Drew Dober (-105) vs Nick Hein (-125) Gabe’s Prediction: Simply put, I think Hein is going to outpoint Dober on the feet en route to a unanimous decision victory. Both of these lightweights are tough to finish, so while I favor Hein to win the fight, I think the over 2.5 may be a safer play, considering the fact that judges’ can be very unpredictable. Gabe’s Call: Hein by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Middleweight bout: Krzysztof Jotko (-135) vs Magnus Cedenblad (+105) Gabe’s Prediction: I think the over/under for this fight should be set at 2.5 rounds and feel is a gift to be getting it at 1.5 rounds. I could see a finish happening on both ends, but I think the chances of it happening in under 1.5 rounds are slim. I think these two will fight to a decision more times than not, so I love the over 1.5 at -160 as a having real value and being a solid piece for this parlay. I am expecting this to be a close fight, with Jotko getting the better of Cedenblad. I think there will be a mix of striking and grappling in this bout, as well as battles for control in the clinch against the cage. I think Jotko is generally the superior fighter and favor him to get his hand raised. Though, the fight should be competitive and you can’t trust the judges, so I feel the over 1.5 is the safest play here. Gabe’s Call: Jotko by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) Gabe’s Recommended Play: Niinimaki (-245) parlayed with Dober/Hein Over 2.5 rounds (-165) and Jotko/Cedenblad Over 1.5 rounds (-160) for +267 2.15u to win 5.75u
