Deiveson Figueiredo -205

I was back and forth on this fight because I think Figgy is the better fighter but the 1st fight was razor close. I expected the line to be -140ish so I was slightly surprised to see it over -200. After digging deeper into their 1st fight I noted that Figgy had a stomach infection and had 2 bad weight cuts leading up to the fight. In a close fight in which he faded down the stretch, those played a key factor. I expect Figgy to put it on Moreno and close this fight out at some point.

Jordan Leavitt -191

Leavitt is a very impressive young fighter that is great on the ground and has a knack for finding himself in great positions to win fights. Puelles wants to get fights to the ground also so this fight will basically be a battle of which fighter will find success once the fight gets there. I believe that Leavitt is far superior in the grappling aspect of the fight and should be able to lock in a submission early in this fight.

Bill Algeo -117

Algeo is a pressure fighter that puts himself in a great spot to win rounds. I think that his length will give Ramos problems and prevent Ramos from getting in on a takedown. Algeo has stoppage upside but I think he will at worst be able to clearly win 2 rounds here.

&nbsp;

Claudio Silva +103

This fight comes down to if Silva can get the fight to the ground. He has terrible wrestling only landing 28% of his takedowns but McGee&rsquo;s takedown defense is very shaky at 63%. I am betting that at some point this fight will get down and Silva will have the edge, I am not going heavy on this one though.

&nbsp;

Damir Hadzovic -125

Hadzovic has the clear wrestling edge versus a subpar wrestler. As long as he fights smart this should be a clear victory for him. If he chooses to stand with Yancy he could run into some problems.

&nbsp;

Cody Garbrandt -102

This may be a bit biased because Cody is my favorite fighter on the UFC roster but he has some strong points going in his favor. Cody throws great counters and Font is sometimes overly aggressive at times. Also, this is Font&rsquo;s first main event spotlight ad first 5 round fight. I think that Cody stays composed and eventually lands a fight-ending blow in what is almost certain to be the most entertaining fight of the night.

&nbsp;

Carla Esparza +108

This was a tough one for me because I am a fan of Xiaonan&rsquo;s game but Carla has shown improved striking lately and has a great wrestling base to fall back on. I think at +108 she has some value in this spot. Esparza by decision in +180 if you want some extra value. I think she secures a few takedowns and cruises to a decision win.

UFC 262 Bets

&nbsp;

Michael Chandler +120

It seems that I am wrong on Oliveira than any other fighter on the UFC roster from fight to fight but on Saturday I feel that Chandler has a perfect toolset to deal with him. Chandler has the wrestling to keep this fight standing and the pressure to throw Oliveira off of his striking game. I look for Chandler to push the pace and eventually hurt Oliveira to end the night early. Chandler by KO/TKO is +225 right now, I don&rsquo;t mind that line but I thought it would be a better price.

&nbsp;

Tony Ferguson +149

A lot of people have given up on Ferguson based on his last 2 fights but he gets a huge downgrade in opponents in this fight. I think Dariush is a perfect matchup for Ferguson because Dariush is not very skilled on the feet. On the ground, this fight is a wash in my opinion, so it comes down to how this plays out on the feet and I still think Ferguson has the edge at this point in his career.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Jacare Souza -115

Muniz is somewhat a test if Jacare is a UFC level fighter at this point in his career or not. Muniz typically wins fights by pressuring takedowns and trying to lock in submissions. Versus Souza that is an issue because Souza is one of the best all-time on the ground. I am slightly concerned about Souza&rsquo;s chin but this is a very winnable fight for him at a value price.

&nbsp;

Mike Grundy -122

I was a little surprised that this fight is so close in odds, Grundy is a good wrestler and has decent pressure in his stand-up. Vannatta has cardio issues and has about 1 round of danger in his striking. If Grundy can weather the storm in round 1, it should be smooth sailing.

&nbsp;

Jamie Pickett -102

Wright comes into this fight with an impressive record but one this I noticed is that he seems afraid to get hit. Pickett is a long fighter that will stand and trade with him so in order for Wright to execute his game plan he will get hit often. This pick comes down to who I think can take the most damage and that is hands down Pickett for me.

&nbsp;

Kevin Aguilar +103

Aguilar has had a tough run so far in the UFC but he gets a fight versus Lutz on Saturday that plays perfectly into his gameplay. Lutz is a decent prospect, he has decent wrestling and his standup is decent ok but he lacks defensive prowess. Aguilar will likely lure him into brawls and shouldn&rsquo;t have an issue hitting him frequently.

Tyler's UFC 262 Bets

Jun Yong Park +132

I am slightly torn on this one, but I think the value is there. Nchukwi is a dangerous striker but is very hittable. I think Park can take advantage of that and exploit Nchukwi&rsquo;s lack of speed and defense.

&nbsp;

Amanda Ribas -172

If Ribas fights smart, this should be her fight to lose. She needs to get this fight to the ground as soon as possible where she has a huge advantage. Hill has a solid takedown defense as of late, but I think Ribas will stay close enough on the feet to eventually drag it to the ground.

&nbsp;

Gregor Gillespie -172

Gillespie has been off for over a year which is a little concerning. With Ferreira having a 68% takedown defense, Gillespie shouldn&rsquo;t have an issue taking this fight to the ground at will. Once on the ground, it should be smooth sailing in this fight if he can avoid the submissions.

&nbsp;

Marina Rodriguez -196

With this fight being at 125lbs it hinders&nbsp;Waterson&rsquo;s path to winning. Waterson needs to get this fight to the ground, but&nbsp;will be facing an uphill challenge in doing so. Rodriguez doesn&rsquo;t have the best takedown defense, but she has&nbsp;a huge strength advantage. If this fight remains standing it should be very one-sided with Rodriguez picking Waterson apart.

Tyler's UFC on ESPN 24 Bets

Randa Markos +150

This is not a strong play, but I just feel that Pinhiero has not really been tested in her career and Markos is a tough out. Markos will make her work for this fight and I just feel like she could do enough to grind a decision. Markos by +240 is a good play if you want more juice on this fight.

&nbsp;

Kai Kamaka -144

This play comes down to me not thinking Brown is UFC-level talent at this point in his career. Brown relies on aggression and Kamaka should be able to hang with him on the feet and can use his wrestling to take Brown out of his comfort zone en route to a decision.

&nbsp;

Luke Sanders -137

Sanders is a fighter that has a lot of skill but makes mistakes that cost him fights. I think that in this fight Colares doesn&rsquo;t pose the threat of that quick come from behind finish, he typically grinds his opponents. That being the case I see Sanders having the upside and skill set to stifle Colares and take a decision. Sanders by decision is +230 at the moment and I really like that play.

&nbsp;

Sean Strickland -250

Jotko is a fighter that is somewhat lacking on the feet and thrives off of mixing in his wrestling. Versus Strickland that takedown won&rsquo;t come easily and Strickland should have a big edge standing. I think Strickland out points him to a striking-based decision but a finish is a possibility.

&nbsp;

Giga Chikadze -155

This is more a play on where Swanson is at this point of his career. The fight should remain standing and I think Giga is the less hittable of the 2 fighters even though Swanson has looked good in his past 2 fights. I am not breaking the bank on this fight but I will have a small play on Giga.

Parlay- Lookboonmee/Botelho

&nbsp;

Lean: Ion Cutelaba -136

Lean: Dominick Reyes +118

I think that Jiri is the real deal but I am not ready to pay favorite odds on an unproven fighter on the UFC level when he is facing a fighter that has only lost to the 2 best guys in the division. Play with caution though because I do think Jiri has the skill to break into the top of the Light Heavyweight division.

 Randa Markos +150This is not a strong play, but I just feel that Pinhiero has not really been tested in her career and Markos is a tough out. Markos will make her work for this fight and I just feel like she could do enough to grind a decision. Mark

Usman by Decision -115

&nbsp;

Weili Zhang -196

On the feet this fight should be one sided. Zhang will have the power advantage and is very high volume. Zhang has shown that she could keep a high pace for 5 rounds, and as long as this fight avoids the ground it should be an easy win for her. I am leaning to playing Zhang by decision at +175 but haven&rsquo;t pulled the trigger yet.

&nbsp;

Jimmy Crute -196

Crute has a tendency to keep a high pace recently. He has implemented more wrestling into his game plan. If he keeps that strategy in this fight, he will exploit the weaknesses in Smith&rsquo;s game and should wind up on the winning side of this match.

&nbsp;

Brendan Allen -155

Allen should come in with a grappling heavy game plan, and use his aggression to keep Roberson on his back foot. Typically this strategy is one that Roberson has had problems with in his UFC run. Allen by submission at +200 is interesting, but I am hoping to get a better number closer to fight time.

&nbsp;

Ariane Carnelossi -200

Liang is a fighter that is very aggressive with submissions, but she leaves herself in bad spots and it results in giving away rounds. As long as Carnelossi can avoid getting submitted, she should have no problem taking a decision in this fight. Carnelossi by decision is currently +390 which is really good value and something I suggest playing in this spot.

Tracy Cortez -257

I&#39;m not a huge fan of the -257 line, but this is a good matchup for Cortez. Kish is solid on the feet, but struggles versus takedowns which is exactly what Cortez will be looking to do in this fight. Cortez by decision is -150, and I am leaning towards playing that instead of her straight up.

&nbsp;

Gerald Meerschaert +112

Fabinski&rsquo;s typical game plan seems to play right into what Meerscaert wants to do in fights. Fabinski usually looks for takedowns early and often, and Meer is a stud on the ground. If this battle spends too much time off of the feet I see Meerschaert catching him in a submission at some point. I don&rsquo;t mind the Meerscaert by submission line at +250 in addition to betting him straight.

&nbsp;

Zarah Fairn +110

This is by no means a confident play but Nunes struggles in the clinch and in the wrestling aspect of the fight game. Fairn isn&rsquo;t a world-beater in either of those but she has a decent clinch that could stall some of Nunes&rsquo; wild haymakers. I look for this to be a decision either way, which you could get at -120 but give the Fair the nod for being the more technical and composed fighter.

&nbsp;

Robert Whittaker -244

Bet this one as soon as possible because the line is far too low. Gastelum is a huge step down in competition at this point in their careers and Vegas seems to be undervaluing Whittaker. In a fight that should play out on the feet, Whittaker is the faster fighter and better boxer. If you are looking for more value on the fight Whittaker by decision at +150 isn&rsquo;t a terrible way to go here.

Ignacio Bahamondes (-186)

This is an interesting match because initially, I was on Makdessi but after diving into this fight deeper I learned that Bahamondes only really struggles versus high volume wrestlers which is not what Makdessi brings to the table. Bahamondes should thrive off of a high-volume game plan and it should lead him to victory here.

&nbsp;

Luis Saldana (-127)

Saldana looked great in his debut and gets a big step up in class in this fight but it is a very winnable fight. Griffin has cardio issues and has terrible striking defense. Saldana could pick up a late stoppage but I think he takes a decision in this fight.

&nbsp;

Da-Un Jung (-137)

William Knight is a power striker who is not the most technical but poses a big threat of finishing this fight in one strike but Jung should be able to keep distance and pick him apart. I don&rsquo;t mind a smaller play on Knight by KO/TKO if you want to hedge this fight a lil bit because that is Knight&rsquo;s only way to win.

&nbsp;

Mackenzie Dern (+125)

This play might be a little bit of a bias play but I am a BJJ guy and Dern is the 2nd best women&rsquo;s female BJJ player of all time. If this fight goes to the ground Dern is by far the better fighter but if she struggles to get Nina down we might be in trouble, even though Dern&rsquo;s striking has improved as of late.

&nbsp;

Julian Marquez (-186)

It is hard to trust Marquez after his last fight but he is fighting Sam Alvey who has been terrible for the past few years. I am personally hoping to get a slightly better line closer to the fight, but Marquez should be able to win this fight even though it is hard to believe in him.

&nbsp;

Sadiq Yusuff (-138)

I was hesitant to throw my support to Yusuff in this fight because Allen is a great talent that poses a problem for everyone that challenges him. I think this line is set correctly and Yusuff has a slight edge based on his volume. The key for Yusuff is to fend off some of the takedowns here and push the pace as much as possible.

Gamrot wins by decision (+105)

&nbsp;

Blanchfield/Dumont goes to decision (-240)

Slight lean- Hunter Azure (+148)

Azure should have the edge on the feet and is a fast starter. If he can use his 76% takedown defense to fend off Shore&rsquo;s takedowns he should have a clear path to having his hand raised on Saturday night. I am not super confident in this play but the line offers some value on Azure.

&nbsp;

Slight lean- Kevin Holland (+294)

Its not a great feeling backing Holland&nbsp;after the terrible performance he put up a few weeks ago, and he is probably going to lose this fight also but there is a huge value in backing Holland&rsquo;s line. Vettori is a decent wrestler but nowhere near the level that Brunson is so Holland might be able to fend off some of the takedowns and keep this fight standing, which will keep this fight closer than the huge odds that are currently being offered.

Tyler's UFC on ABC 2 Bets

Abubakar Nurmagomedov -225

Nurmagomedov should be able to control where this fight goes, and get it to the ground with relative ease. Gooden is a good power puncher, but his style should make it easy for Nurmagomedov to execute his gameplay and grind out a decision win. Nurmagomedov +150&nbsp;decision is a good prop bet that I plan on hammering also.

&nbsp;

Olekseijczuk/Bukauskas under does not go to decision -161

Olekseijczuk should be able to overwhelm Bakauskas with pressure in this fight early and get the finish, but if he doesn&rsquo;t he is a high risk for gassing out. Either way, this fight should finish before the 15-minute mark.

&nbsp;

Azaitar/Barriault goes to decision -165

I have a slight lean towards Azaitar at +109 but either way, I see this fight going to decision and is the far safer play here.

&nbsp;

Khama Worthy -122

I am slightly concerned with Mullarkey&rsquo;s active wrestling game and Worthy&rsquo;s average at best takedown defense but on the feet, this should be a very one-sided contest. Mullarkey gets hit with 4.60 strikes per minute and versus a power striker like Worthy, I think Worthy should be able to finish this fight before the final bell.

&nbsp;

Miranda Maverick -157

Maverick has shown to be a fighter that can overwhelm others on the feet and with Robertson only having success on 46% of her takedowns that should lead to Maverick picking her apart on the feet and pushing a pace that Robertson cannot keep up with.

&nbsp;

Francis Ngannou -120

I have been back and forth on this fight since it was announced but I am leaning toward Francis being the new champion on Saturday night. In their 1st fight, Stipe was able to get Ngannou down right away and control the fight for 25 minutes. I feel that fight was a product of inexperience and not being well-rounded. Ngannou has had a few years to sure up the only real hole in his game so I think that problem should be patched enough to fend off some takedowns on fight night. Stipe is not the greatest of wrestlers only being successful in 34% of his takedown attempts. If Francis has expanded his game even slightly in the wrestling department he should be able to KO Stipe fairly quickly.

Max Griffin -200

Griffin should have a clear path to victory in this fight. If he implements a wrestling heavy gameplan, he should be able to find success against Song&rsquo;s 45% takedown defense. If he struggles to get the takedown this fight is pretty close on the feet. I plan on hedging a little on the fight going to decision at -170 because both fighter&rsquo;s path to victory is grinding out rounds.

&nbsp;

Adrian Yanez -210

Yanez&nbsp;looked impressive in his debut, landing over seven&nbsp;strikes per minute. He now gets to face a fighter in Lopez that is very hittable. This has the makings for a one-sided beat down.

&nbsp;

Gregor Gillespie -230

I expected this line to be a little wider. Riddell is a kickboxer who has shaky takedown defense and is facing the best wrestler that he has faced in his career. Gillespie will get this fight down at will and grind a decision win. Gillespie by decision is +230 and that line is very playable also.

&nbsp;

Kevin Holland -172

In a fight that should play out on the feet, I think Holland has the advantage. Holland is the more active fighter and should be able to put Brunson on his back foot and use pace to outpoint Brunson. If Brunson chooses to wrestle in this fight we might be in trouble, even though his wrestling isn&rsquo;t the best.

Jason Witt +110

Semelsberger is a raw talent that puts himself into bad spots at times to execute his gameplan. I think he does that here&nbsp;and leaves himself open for takedowns, allowing Witt to grind out a wrestling-based decision. Witt by decision is +260 if you want added juice.

&nbsp;

Darren Stewart -172

Anders has looked like a fighter that has regressed exponentially in his past few fights, and I expect no different here. Anders fights a style that falls right into Stewart&rsquo;s game plan, and will likely result in a one-sided fight on Saturday night.

&nbsp;

Manel Kape -129

Cape was hyped coming into his UFC debut and fell flat thanks to a lack of aggression and questionable corner advice. In this spot, he has another tough test in Nicolau, but the main difference is that Nicolau has a tendency to brawl it out at times and that could play right into Kape&rsquo;s world.

&nbsp;

Gavin Tucker +138 (small play)

This is a dangerous play because Tucker gets hit a lot and has a chin that is somewhat suspect but I see a clear pack to victory if Tucker gets his wrestling going early. Tucker attempts 3 takedowns per fight and Ige only defends 59% of takedown successfully.

Live bet special- Ray Rodriguez&nbsp;

Rani Yahya should get the job done early in this fight.&nbsp;If&nbsp;this fight goes into the 2nd round, Yahya has a tendency to gas out leaving us with likely very good odds on Rodriguez if we notice Yahya fading.

 Jason Witt +110Semelsberger is a raw talent that puts himself into bad spots at times to execute his gameplan. I think he does that here&nbsp;and leaves himself open for takedowns, allowing Witt to grind out a wrestling-based decision. Witt by decis

Tyler's UFC Fight Night 187 Bets

Casey Kenny -125

I kind of feel that Cruz is being overvalued in this fight. Sure, he has faced the who&rsquo;s who of the division and&nbsp;dropping down in opponent skill level, but it&#39;s hard for me to overlook how bad Cruz looked in his last two&nbsp;fights. When it comes to skill level. Kenny is a counter striker and can execute the same exact gameplan that Cejudo and Garbrandt did successfully.

&nbsp;

Kenny vs Cruz goes to decision -245

&nbsp;

Song Yadong -147

Yarding was steadily working his way up the ranking in the 145 lb division and now is dropping to 135 where he will take on a nice up-and-coming prospect. Yadong should be strong enough to keep this fight standing and overwhelm Phillips on the feet. I am considering Yadong by KO/TKO at +450, but I&rsquo;m not committing to it just yet.

&nbsp;

Askar Askarov -117

After watching Benevidez&rsquo;s last 2 fights versus Figueredo I am not convinced that his chin is ok at this point in his career. Askarov is a stud that is a very smart fighter and will find the holes in Benavidez&rsquo;s skill set and grind this fight to a decision. Fight going to decision is -195 and I feel that is a pretty same play.

&nbsp;

Kai Kara France -132

The key to this fight is France&rsquo;s 90% takedown defense. Bontorin needs to get this fight to the ground which he will struggle with and on the feet, this fight is not close at all.

&nbsp;

Carlos Ulberg -230

Ulberg is the real deal. He is a kickboxer that trains with Adesanya and has the ability to stand and trade with everyone in the division, I feel that on Saturday he has a hand-picked opponent that will stand in front of him and trade. Ulberg should have no issue winning by KO. Sprinkle in Ulberg by KO/TKO at +135.

&nbsp;

Aleksander Rakic -154

Since coming back from injury Santos looked terrible last fight and seem to look uninterested at times. Rakic is a dangerous fast fighter that will be able to find his range and pick apart Santos, likely resulting in a finish eventually.

&nbsp;

Aljamain Sterling -103

Sterling is the faster fighter, has better cardio, is better on the ground, and has more ways to win this fight but Yan has a huge edge in power. If Sterling fights a smart fight he should be able to use his speed to pressure Yan and avoid the overhand.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Isreal Adesanya -225

I have been going back and forth on this fight all week because I always underestimate Blachowicz and didn&rsquo;t want to do it in this fight. I don&rsquo;t really like the odds being so wide, but it is very hard to ignore the huge speed advantage. Adesanya recognizes that aspect is his best path to victory too by saying he was going to come into this fight at 193lbs instead of the 205lb limit. By doing this he will retain most of the speed that he had at middleweight and should be able to snipe the much slower Blachowicz.&nbsp;

Tyler's UFC 259 Bets

The fight card on Saturday has the makings of&nbsp;a very exciting night&nbsp;based on the matches and styles of the fighters going at it even though it lacks name value. I have a few more plays that I am personally playing, but they are more on the risky side and I wasn&rsquo;t confident in them enough to suggest them as plays. However, the plays listed below should be solid&nbsp;and get us all to profit on Saturday night. If you have any questions or want to run anything by me, send me a message on the discord chat or follow me on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/tyslice23">@tyslice23</a>

&nbsp;

Mayra Bueno Silva -145

Silva pushes a very aggressive pace that will make it hard for De La Rosa to keep pace with. De La Rosa will be looking to take this fight to the ground if Silva overcommits but Silva&rsquo;s 71% takedown defense suggests that it will not be an easy task. If this fight does manage to make its way to the ground Silva is dangerous off of his&nbsp;back and poses a submission threat.

&nbsp;

Alex Caceres -195

I hate to suggest Caceres as a bet because he is one of my least favorite fighters in the sport but he is facing a fighter in Croom that thrives off aggression but lacks high-level skill. Caceres should be able to use his technique to stall some of Croom&rsquo;s aggression and out point him to a decision. Careers by decision at +100 isn&rsquo;t a terrible bet if you want more juice in this fight.

&nbsp;

Alexander Hernandez -190

The only way I see Moises posing a problem in this fight is on the ground but he struggles to land takedowns, only completing 35% of all attempts in his UFC career. Hernandez should be able to fend them off well and keep this fight standing. Hernandez will have an edge in speed and power, that combined with Moises being very hittable should carry Hernandez to getting his hand raised at the end of the fight.

&nbsp;

Ronnie Lawrence -157

Cachero has shown to struggle versus fighters that can push a fast pace and Lawrence fits into that style perfectly. I look for Lawrence to get Cachero on his back foot, close the distance and get this fight to the ground to take a one-sided decision. Lawrence by decision is +125 and I will have some action on that as well as Lawrence straight up.

&nbsp;

Live Bet special- William Knight

Menifield has shown in previous fights that he is very talented for one round. While I think Menifield could get the job done early this is one fight that you should keep an eye on if your betting site offers live betting. After the first round, there should be a ton of value in the Knight line making him very much in play. Do not take him for the fight though because he could get KO&rsquo;d in the first, live after the 1st round is the play.

UFC Fight Night 185 (Saturday night)

&nbsp;

Phil Hawes -110

Hates has had 2 setbacks early in his UFC career but has rounded into form as of late and he will have a clear speed and power advantage in this fight with Imavov. I look for that speed to be too much for Imavov and Hawes should be able to finish this fight early. The longer the fight goes the more it favors Imavov so keep that in mind if you play on live betting during the fights on Saturday.

&nbsp;

Danny Chavez -135

This bet is really a bet on how good Danny Chavez&rsquo;s takedown defense is. On the feet, he will pick Gordon apart but Gordon will be wanting to get this fight to the mat as much as possible. Chavez had 100% takedown defense in his only other UFC fight and I think that he can do enough to keep this standing and win a decision.

&nbsp;

Chavez/Gordon goes to decision -155

&nbsp;

Eddie Wineland +103

I hate to suggest Wineland but this fight seems to be a perfect matchup for him. Castaneda has been hit with 5.30 strikes per minute in his UFC career and leaves himself open to the counter. Wineland has made his career on being a counter fighter so I look for him to land bombs during exchanges and score the KO. If you want to get risky and bet the KO, Wineland by KO/TKO is +535.

&nbsp;

Shana Dobson +135

I got a tip from Dobson&rsquo;s striking coach that she shouldn&rsquo;t have a problem in this fight. When I get tips like this from coaches, I usually don&rsquo;t ignore them, they pay off more times than not. As far as skill sets, O&rsquo;Neil is a Muay Thai fighter and seems to be solid but Dobson will likely use her wrestling to take away that advantage and pick up the decision.

&nbsp;

Drako Rodriguez -175

Zahabi had a lot of fanfare based off of his brother being known as one of the top coaches in MMA but he has not lived up to the hype. He has shown to have a questionable gas tank, terrible fight IQ, and a mediocre skill set. Rodriguez on the other hand has looked like the real deal since arriving on the scene on the Contender&rsquo;s Series. I think Rodriguez should be able to win this fight handily, I am not sure if he will get the stoppage though.

&nbsp;

Tom Aspinall -245

Arlovski is on the downslope of his career but has remained competitive in his past few fights but those fights were against fighters that lacked aggression and let Arlovski dictate the pace. Aspinall will not afford him the same luxury. Aspinall lands over 11 strikes per minute at a 74% accuracy and is efficient in his wrestling. This fight should be a one-sided beat down and a likely finish win.

&nbsp;

Pat Sabatini +160

I am a little bit surprised by this line, Sabatini is a good fighter that has a ton of heart and is the 2 time&nbsp;CFFC featherweight champion. He is taking this fight on short notice&nbsp;but he recently fought in December so he should still be in shape. His opponent Alves, is a decent fighter in his own right but I haven&rsquo;t been impressed with the limited footage that I have seen from him. In his fight on DWCS I felt that he was losing until he pulled out a submission in a fight that he was favored in. The biggest factor in determining who to back in this fight is that Alves has shown the willingness to quit in fights.
