UFC Fight Night 72 Date: July 25, 2015 Arena: United Center City: Chicago, IL The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to Chicago this Saturday night (July 25, 2015) for UFC on FOX 16: Dillashaw vs Barao. The fight card is stacked with 12 scraps, with the main card kicking off at 8pm ET on FOX and preliminary action getting going on the same channel at 6pm ET with four preliminary bouts streaming live on UFC Fight Pass priot to that at 4:15pm ET. If interested on making a play on this fight card, all betting lines will be made available at Several Bookmakerss. My Fights to AVOID betting for UFC on FOX 16 are: Lightweight bout: Andrew Holbrook (+120) vs Ramsey Nijem (-140) Gabe’s Thoughts: I lean with Nijem to get his hand raised in this 155-pound contest and see him wrestling his way en route to a decision victory, but I would not be surprised to see him score a TKO stoppage. I agree with the current betting odds for this match-up, so I do not see any value for a bet either way. This is a bout in which Nijem could get finished again, especially via a choke submission, as Holbrook specializes in chokes and Nijem leaves plenty of openings for them. Gabe’s Call: Nijem by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) Gabe’s Recommended Play: AVOID Welterweight bout: Dominique Steele (+220) vs Zak Cummings (-260) Gabe’s Thoughts: I agree with Cummings being the favorite in this bout but I don’t agree with the current betting odds. I think he should win this fight, but he’s coming off a long layoff following a loss and I think -260 is too high of an asking price for him considering so. This is a “favorite or pass” situation but I don’t feel comfortable parlaying the favorite here, so I feel I am best off passing on this one. This 170-pound scrap is one fight to avoid betting at the sportsbook this Saturday night. Gabe’s Call: Cummings by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Gabe’s Recommended Play: AVOID
