Here’s my three-way parlay for UFC Fight Night 71: Women’s Bantamweight bout: Sarah Moras (+295) vs Jessica Andrade (-355) Gabe’s Thoughts: Moras has a size advantage heading into this bout, but that’s about it. Aside from catching Andrade with a lucky submission, I don’t see how she wins this bout. I see the Brazilian smothering her on the feet with her fists, as well as on the mat with her ground and pound, should the fight go there. I think Andrade’s pressure will be toomuch for Moras and I see her getting a stoppage, if not a dominant victory on the cards. Gabe’s Call: Andrade by T/KO (punches, 3:04 round 1) Bantamweight bout: Rani Yahya (-105) vs Masanori Kanehara (-115) Gabe’s Thoughts: In short, I think Kanehara outwrestles Yahya for at least two out of three rounds of action, while defending his submission attempts, en route to a unanimous decision on the judges’ scorecards. Gabe’s Call: Kanehara by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Welterweight bout: Sean Strickland (-370) vs Igor Araujo (+310) Gabe’s Thoughts: Strickland is the superior mixed martial artist heading into this 170-pound contest, as well as the younger fighter of the two. He is also more durable and has the better chin. Over three rounds of action, I certainly favor Strickland, but I think he has a good chance of ending this one by T/KO. He has a decent submission game, but I don’t see him submitting Araujo. If he scores a finish, I think it will almost certainly be a T/KO. If he fails to find it, I think he will take home a unanimous 30-27 nod from the judges’ at Octagon-side. Gabe’s Call: Strickland by T/KO (strikes, 0:57, round 1) Gabe’s Recommended Parlay: Andrade (-355), Kanehara (-115) and Strickland (-370) at +204 for 3.5u to win 7.15u
