Here’s my two-way parlay for UFC 189: Interim Featherweight title bout: Chad Mendes (+120) vs Conor McGregor (-140) Gabe’s Thoughts: I don’t think Mendes’ wrestling is going to be enough to beat McGregor. Outwrestling him for five rounds is the only way I could see him beating him, and I am not counting on that outcome. More than likely, I think McGregor wins this fight inside the distance. Mendes had been taking time off from training until news of Aldo’s injury broke, so I don’t think we will be getting a Chad Mendes at his 100% best. Meanwhile, that’s exactly what I believe we will be getting from McGregor, who I see becoming the new (interim) UFC Featherweight Champion of the world. Gabe’s Call: McGregor by T/KO (strikes, 3:58 round 1) Featherweight bout: Dennis Bermudez (-200) vs Jeremy Stephens (+170) Gabe’s Thoughts: I think this is Bermudez’s fight to lose and see him handily winning it, as long as he avoids a knockout blow from Stephens. “Lil’ Heathen” is amongst the hardest hitters at 145-pounds, arguably possessing the most one-punch knockout power in the division. Skill-set for skill-set, I think Bermudez is the better fighter and the one I see with a brighter future in the division. I see “The Menace” as a future title contender, while Stephens will likely fall to a role of “gatekeeper” for the remainder of his career inside the Octagon at 145-pounds. A finish would not surprise me, but I think more often than not, Bermudez gets the better of Stephens over three rounds of action for a unanimous decision victory on the judges’ scorecards at Octagon-side. Gabe’s Call: Bermudez via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Gabe’s Recommended Parlay: McGregor (-140) and Bermudez (-200) at +157 for 4.55u to win 7.15u
