Here are my plays for WSOF 32: Bantamweight title bout: Marlon Moraes (-370) vs Josh Hill (+310) Gabe’s Thoughts: I believe that this rematch will play out similar to their first meeting. I expect Moraes to keep this fight standing for the majority of 25 minutes of action, where he will outstrike the Canadian en route to picking up a unanimous decisionv victory on the judges’ scorecards. A finish would not completely surprise me, but Hill is tough to put away so I think a win on the scorecards for the Brazilian is more likely in this rematch. Hill is a solid bantamweight but I don’t see him getting past Moraes. I don’t think his chances of catching him with a T/KO or submission are good at all, and I don’t like his chances of outwrestling/outgrinding Moraes for at least three out of five rounds, either. I think Moraes at -350 and the Total of Over 3.5 rounds at -145 both hold value. Gabe’s Call: Moraes by Unanimous Decision (48-47, 49-46, 49-46) Gabe’s Recommended Plays: Moraes (-350) 3.5u to win 1u and 2) Over 3.5 rounds (-145) 2.9u to win 2u Bantamweight title bout: Alexandre Almeida (+115) vs Lance Palmer (-135) Gabe’s Thoughts: I think Palmer will have filled up the gaps needed in order to get past Almeida. I think we will see an improved Lance Palmer in this match-up, and a finish would not surprise me in the least, but I am favoring him to defeat the Brazilian on the judges’ scorecards following five rounds of co-main event action. Their first fight was close, and I expect Almeida to have his moments here, as well, but I think Palmer is the superior fighter of the two and will find a way to get his hand raised in this bantamweight title rematch. Gabe’s Call: Palmer by Unanimous Decision (49-47, 49-46, 48-47) Gabe’s Recommended Play: Palmer (-135) 1.35u to win 1u
