Here’s my three-way parlay for UFC Fight Night 54 in Nova Scotia: Middleweight bout: Bruno Santos (+280) vs Elias Theodorou (-400) Gabe’s Thoughts: The only way I think Santos has a shot in hell at winning this fight is by laying on top of Theodorou for the majority of three rounds and grinding him out, and I have a very hard time seeing that happening. I think this is going to be a fight tailor-made for Theodorou to showcase his skills, likely dominating Santos en route to an early stoppage, similar to how he made his Octagon debut earlier in the year. I don’t believe the Brazilian stands a chance in this fight, so at the current betting line of -400, I love Theodorou as the first leg for my three-way parlay for UFC Fight Night 54 in Nova Scotia, as I personally think he should be a -1000 favorite heading into this 185 pound contest. Gabe’s Call: Theodorou by T/KO (strikes, 4:54, round 1) Lightweight bout: Jake Lindsey (+280) vs Olivier Aubin-Mercier (-400) Gabe’s Thoughts: I am expecting Aubin-Mercier to completely dominate Lindsey in this match-up, very likely earning an early stoppage. I think he will score the takedown very early and before long will have a rear naked choke sunk in to earn the tap from Lindsey. At the current betting line of -400, I believe Aubin-Mercier still holds a lot of value, as I personally think he should be a -1500 favorite over Lindsey in this bout. Outside of a DQ or the luckiest punch since Serra vs GSP, I don’t see how Aubin-Mercier loses this fight, so I really like him as the second leg for my three-way parlay in for Saturday night in Nova Scotia. Gabe’s Call: Aubin-Mercier by Submission (rear naked choke, 1:49 round 1) Lightweight bout: Jerrod Sanders (+265) vs Pedro Munhoz (-385) Gabe’s Thoughts: This is another fight on the card in which I expect complete domination. I don’t believe Sanders has anything to offer here and think Munhoz is simply going to run through him, stopping him if not taking home a lopsided unanimous decision. This is the very first bout on the evening’s preliminary card, and I think it will start the night off on a high note with a highlight-reel finish being delivered by Munhoz. Much like the two other fights in this three-way parlay, I have a very hard time seeing any other outcome other than Munhoz getting his hand raised. I see a lot of value in the Brazilian at the current betting line of -385, as I think he should be a -900 favorite heading into this 155-pound scrap, so I will definitely be including it as the third and final leg for my three-teamer here. Gabe’s Call: Munhoz by T/KO (strikes, 2:13 round 1) Gabe’s Recommended Parlay: Theodorou (-400) parlayed with Aubin-Mercier (-400) and Munhoz (-385) for -104 4.7u to win 4.55u
