Here’s my two-way parlay for UFC Fight Night 59’s Prelims on FS1: Lightweight bout: Cathal Pendred (+145) vs Sean Spencer (-165) Gabe’s Thoughts: I believe Spencer is the superior mixed martial artist of the two heading into this match-up and has been showing more improvements in his all-around skill-set from fight to fight. He is certainly the better striker, and with his solid and improved takedown defense, I think he will find success in keeping this fight on the feet and outpointing the Irishman. I don’t love his chances of getting the finish, however it would not surprise me in the least. The main thing that worries me is the possibility of a robbery when this fight hits the judges’ scorecards, which I think it will more often than not. The crowd will certainly be behind Pendred, so he has that going for him, but I feel like this is a fight made for Spencer to shine in, and I expect him to come through with a career best breakthrough performance. Gabe’s Call: Spencer by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Lightweight bout: Chris Wade (-450) vs Zhang Lipeng (+360) Gabe’s Thoughts: I think Wade is going to completely dominate Lipeng and stop him, likely with a ground and pound TKO. If Lipeng manages to survive and this fight hits the judges’ scorecards for a decision, I think he will be seeing some 30-26 and 20-25 scores. That said, I think there’s a good chance Wade finds the finish within the first frame. Gabe’s Call: Wade by T/KO (punches, 3:23 round 1) Gabe’s Recommended Parlay: Sean Spencer (-165) parlayed with Chris Wade (-450) for -104 4.05u to win 3.9u
