I believe these TUF 20 Finale ‘FOTN’ contenders hold the most value: Penne/Markos +500 — Penne is the former Invicta FC atomweight champion who lost her title to Michelle Waterson and then moved up a weight class to compete on season 20 of The Ultimate Fighter reality series, where she made it all the way to the semi-finals. In her semi-final match-up, she lost a unanimous decision to former Invicta FC strawweight champion Carla Esparza after three rounds of action in a very entertaining back and forth scrap. Markos made it all the way to the semi-finals of the tournament, as well, where she took on Rose Namajunas and lost via kimura submission in the first round of action. It was a very close fight until Namajunas got the tap, and in my opinion, it was the most entertaining fight of the entire season, even though it only lasted a few minutes. I think this fight will also be a close one and I expect it to be incredibly entertaining for however long it lasts. Rawlings/Clark +1500 — These two are gonna brawl, and stylistically, I think this fight has the recipe to produce serious fireworks. They are both very tough and like to brawl, so I think that’s what this fight will become. I see it going all three rounds with incredibly entertaining back and forth action throughout. I think this is the fight that has the best chance of having that “Griffin vs Bonnar” effect. I would say Rawlings is the Griffin in this case, as I see her getting the better of Clark over the course of the 15 minutes of action. Clark will have her moments, but I think Rawlings will have more of them, likely doing enough to win every round. I think this is going to be a great fight and this it will have a good chance of taking home the evening’s ‘Fight of the Night’ honors. There are only two fights on this 11 fight card that I see enough value in to warrant a bet, and this fight holds the absolute most value, though I do believe Penne/Markos has a better chance of taking home the prize, as the odds would suggest.
