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 Fight Pass parlay: Flyweight bout: Kyoji Horiguchi (-505) vs Neil Seery (+365) Gabe’s Thoughts: Horiguchi is undoubtedly the superior mixed martial artist of the two heading into this flyweight contest and a most definite well deserved favoire over the Irishman. I don’t think Seery is capable of winning this fight by finish or on the judges’ scorecards, I just don’t see any way Horiguchi loses this fight. I think the Japanese fighter should be a -1500 betting favorite heading into this contest, so at his current heavy-juiced offering price of -505, I like him for a leg for my two-way parlay for UFC Fight Night 86’s Fight Pass prelims. Gabe’s Call: Horiguchi by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Welterweight bout: Dominic Waters (+190) vs Leon Edwards (-250) Gabe’s Thoughts: Edwards has a big striking advantage over Waters in this contest and I see him exposing Waters on the feet and very likely securing a T/KO stoppage. I don’t think Waters is a UFC-calibre welterweight and believe Edwards has a bright future in the promotion. Waters certainly has his back against the wall heading into this “do or die” fight, so we will likely see him at his best, but I don’t think that will be enough. If Edwards does not manage to put him away, I think he will walk away with a unanimous 30-27 nod from the judges’ at Octagon-side. Gabe’s Call: Edwards by T/KO (strikes, 4:23 round 1) Gabe’s Recommended Parlay: Horiguchi (-505) and Edwards (-250) at -148 for 4.95u to win 3.35u
