If interested in wagering on this parlay, or any bouts for this fight card, all betting lines are currently made available at Several Bookmakerss. Here is my parlay: Featherweight bout: Makwan Amirkhani (-185) vs Mike Wilkinson (+160) Gabe’s Thoughts: At this stage in their careers, I believe Amirkhani is the superior martial artist of the two. I believe he is progressing at a faster rate than Wilkinson is and believe he has the higher ceiling. This fight is personal for both fighters and they legitimately dislike each other. I believe they will both leave everything they have inside the Octagon, and in such a scenario, I believe Amirkhani will come out on top more often than not. I think he is the fighter more likely to score a finish, as well as take a decision on the judges’ scorecards, despite the bout being in Wilkinson’s backyard. Gabe’s Call: Amirkhani by Submission (rear naked choke, 2:33 round 1) Featherweight bout: Arnold Allen (-355) vs Yaotzin Meza (+255) Gabe’s Thoughts: I believe Allen is a solid prospect with a bright future in the UFC’s featherweight division, and in this match-up, he is being pitted against a journeyman in The MMA Lab’s Yaotzin Meza. I think Allen is the superior mixed martial artist heading into this scrap and believe he will get the better of Meza both on the feet and on the mat. I like his chances of scoring a finish in this contest, but if hits the judges’ scorecards for a decision, I believe he will have done enough to earn a convincing nod. Even at his current juiced price of -355, I believe there is enough value in him to include him in this two-way parlay for the preliminary card to London’s UFC Fight Night 84. Gabe’s Call: Allen by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Gabe’s Recommended Parlay: Amirkhani (-185) and Allen (-355) at -103 for 3.6u to win 3.5u
