Here are my prop plays: Holly Holm (-220) vs Valentina Shevchenko (+180) Shevchenko +5.5 (-150) 1.5u to win 1u I slightly favor Shevchenko to get her hand raised in this main event contest, though should she come out on the losing end, I think more often than not it will be the result of a close decision. In such a scenario, the prop for Shevchenko +5.5 will be money in the bank. Francis Ngannou (-700) vs Bojan Mihajlovic (+500) Ngannou by T/KO (-230) 2.3u to win 1u Ngannou in Round One (-130) 1.3u to win 1u I have a hard time seeing this heavyweight contest result in any other way but Ngannou defeating Mihajlovic via T/KO within the very first round of action. Michel Prazeres (-235) vs J.C. Cottrell (+195) Cottrell by T/KO (+1150) .5u to win 5.75u Cottrell in Round Three (+2800) .25u to win 7u I favor Cottrell to take this fight on the judges’ scorecards, however I do think he has a decent chance of finishing Prazeres via T/KO and see value in the prop for a play the current offering price of +1150. I could see the finish coming in any round but I think the third round would be most likely, ‘cos fatigue often plays a factor for the Brazilian in the third and final stanza of his bouts.
