Osbourne hasn\u2019t been impressive in the UFC going 4-3 with one of his wins being against a guy who is 4-4 as a pro. I\u2019m just not sure what he does great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He barely won a split decision against Charles Johnson (who I\u2019m not high on at all), and he didn\u2019t overwhelm with striking or takedowns or ground game, and in his previous fight he got KO\u2019d by Tyson Nam when he tried a really dumb flying knee that Nam cracked him on the way down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almabaev is tough to figure out beach he hasn\u2019t been fighting great competition in BRAVE CF. He fights a lot like Osbourne where he has finishes on his record, but against who? He won a close split decision against Zach Makovsky who fought in Bellator and in the UFC, but back in the mid 2010\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s 40 now and has lost three out of four and he almost beat Almabaev. No play on picking a winner, but 100% this will be in To Start Round 2 parlay as <strong>I think this has going the distance written all over it<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both guys appear to be equal and this could be a close one with neither fighter doing a lot of damage to the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_86715\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iWOsUbzYPtE?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=1&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;hl=en_US&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"UFC Nashville Fight Night: Cory Sandhagen v Rob Font - Predictions, Bets, Breakdowns, Picks and Odds\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/iWOsUbzYPtE\/maxresdefault.jpg\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div><span itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iWOsUbzYPtE\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"UFC Nashville Fight Night: Cory Sandhagen v Rob Font - Predictions, Bets, Breakdowns, Picks and Odds\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Andy breaks down every fight for UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen v Font and gives his predictions and betting opportunities.

Hadley is going to be the more active fighter on the feet, and his kicks and punches are pretty quick, and his ground game is really good as evident by his submission over Candelario. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Durden is going to try and backpack Hadley and make it a pure wrestling match, and he may have success with it as this will be Hadley\u2019s toughest test outside of Allan Nascimento who handed him his first loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t have any interest in betting who will win this fight, but <strong>overs definitely have my attention<\/strong> and I will certainly play this fight to start round 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jeremiah Wells -150 v Carlston Harris +140<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Really good matchmaking here and the price is right where I would put it. Wells is 4-0 in the UFC and Harris is on a 5-1 run, but let\u2019s be honest\u2026not the best competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harris just beat Jared Gooden who got booted from the UFC once before, and just isn\u2019t UFC caliber and Wells just beat Semelsberger who isn\u2019t looking good. I like Wells as his striking is definitely more crisp and in control on the feet as Harris lunges with his jabs and he telegraphs them with no creativity or set up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was able to get Gooden on the ground in rounds two and three last fight, but Gooden is so bad and offered no defense. Wells used takedowns of his own against Semelsberger and did decent ground and pound, and Semelsberger is better than Gooden so Wells\u2019s performance was better than Harris\u2019s in my opinion. I think Wells is a bit better everywhere, but especially in the striking department. <strong>I like Wells in this one.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kyler Phillips -175 v Raoni Barcelos +150<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think this price is about right as Barcelos just doesn\u2019t seem to have it anymore. He\u2019s 36, and 1-3 in his last four with his win being against Trevin Jones who is on an 0-4 skid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His last fight he got KO\u2019s in the first round by Nurmagomedov, and his speed has clearly diminished. He really doesn\u2019t have any upside, and I don\u2019t think he has much advantage over Phillips anywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phillips got a submission win in the third round against Rojo last time out showing that has skills that last over three rounds. Nurmagomedov was able to land kicks and strikes in the first round resulting in the KO, and I think Phillips will have the same success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phillips doesn\u2019t have the power of Nurmagomedov, but Phillips just has to stay out of the way of the body and head kicks or Barcelos and he should wear down Barcelos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barcelos\u2019s KO was a bad one as it was a short left hook and he bounced his head hard off the mat, and it was the first time he had been knocked out so it might be sign of things to come. <strong>Phillips is the play and -175 seems about the right price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Billy Quarantillo -175 v Damon Jackson +150<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe a bit of overreaction here on Jackson as he just got finished by Dan Ige, but Ige looked fantastic from start to finish in that fight, and while Billy Q is good, on his best day he isn\u2019t as good as Ige was in that fight against Daman Jackson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before that fight Damon Jackson was 5-1 in the UFC with his loss being to Ilia Topuria. Billy Q fights are always fun with a lot of action, but he is actually 2-3 in his last five after Edson Barboza knocked him out with a knee in April. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jackson\u2019s last two wins have come against wrestlers, but his decision win against Argueta doesn\u2019t tell the tale that Argueta was fighting up a weight division on short notice, and Jackson\u2019s win against Sabbatini was due to a quick head kick early in the fight that was a surprised to everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be a fight with fireworks, and I give the edge to Billy Q with the speed and cardio if the fight gets to round 3. I\u2019m not excited about laying -175 so I probably won\u2019t, but <strong>if this fight is 1-1 going into round 3, I would live bet Billy as he should win round 3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ignacio Bahamondes -200 v Ludovit Klein +170<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I liked what I saw from Bahamondes in his last fight against Ogden as the 25 year old showed good use of his reach with his jabs and kicks. Ogden was on a 4-1 run coming into that fight so Bahamondes didn\u2019t beat a can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He controlled the pace and and the space in the ring. He didn\u2019t bloody up Ogden, but it was a great technical performance and his cardio was excellent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Klein is a solid striker, especially if he can close the distance and get in the pocket as he has good hand speed, but I think the length of Bahamondes is going to be the difference in this fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jai Herbert used his length well last fight against Klein, and if not for the point taken away from Herbert, Klein would\u2019ve lost the fight. The price is a bit steep, but if you want to lower it <strong>take Bahamondes to win by decision as Klein is too smart and too tough to get finished<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tanner Boser -180 v Aleksa Camur +155<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both these guys have little to no defense on the feet so I expect this fight to be sloppy and weirdly exciting at times. Tanner Boser moved to light heavyweight last fight and got promptly knocked out making it a 1-4 run for him in the UFC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He just can\u2019t block punches, he can\u2019t stop takedowns, and he just seems to do enough to lose fights. Camur isn\u2019t much better as he\u2019s lost his last two fights, but he does have decent power, but he\u2019s low volume with sloppy movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This is probably a loser leaves the UFC type of fight, and the only way to bet it is Dog Or Pass<\/strong>, but I\u2019ll happily not bet a penny on this fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Diego Lopes -130 v Gavin Tucker +110<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We haven\u2019t seen Gavin Tucker in almost 2.5 years since his loss to Dan Ige, a fight he took on short notice, and he only lasted 22 seconds as Ige KO\u2019d him early. Before that Tucker had won three in a row over Quarantillo, Jaynes and Seung Woo Choi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I won\u2019t be betting on Gavin Tucker because of the inactivity of a guy that\u2019s 37 years old, and I just don\u2019t know what we\u2019ll get out of him. Lopes made his debut just a couple months ago against Evloev, and put on an incredible performance in his debut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evloev was supposed to have the advantage everywhere but Lopes almost submitted Evloev a couple times, and more than held his own on the feet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I lean towards Lopes just because of how good he looked just within the last couple months<\/strong>, but I just can\u2019t get to the window with a bet on this fight as Tucker is a wildcard with the long layoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kennedy Nzechukwu -150 v Dustin Jacoby +130<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like the progression that Kennedy is on, and I would go with him I this fight as I\u2019m down on Jacoby. Kennedy suffered back to back losses to Nicolai Negumereanu and Da Un Jung, but has rebounded nicely winning three in a row, all by finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has shown toughness and a really good striking guard which has lead to opponents getting tired trying to unload on him in the clinch, and on the flip side he\u2019s shown great elbows and strikes in close. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacoby is a boxer who hasn\u2019t looked great in his last two fights losing a close one to Rountree and Murzakanov. In his last fight he really got pieced up on the feet and he lost the striking battle which is supposed to be his strong suit, and Jacoby had the long reach advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on what I\u2019ve seen from Jacoby the last two fights I don\u2019t see the upside in Jacoby, and Nzechukwu looks like he has more tools in the shed with his striking, clinch and submission game. <strong>I like Kennedy in this one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tatiana Suarez -450 v Jessica Andrade +360<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suarez made her much anticipated return after injuries caused a big layoff, and she was able to get the win over De La Rosa, but it wasn\u2019t in the dominating form that she showed before the layoff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suarez likes to maul her opponents and win on the ground with ground and pound or submission, and it\u2019s an interesting matchup against Andrade who has lost two in a row, but he losses were to a striker in Yan where Andrade got knocked out by the bigger and stronger fighter, and to Erin Blanchfield who is undefeated in the UFC and on her way to a title run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andrade has the look of a fighter who is nearing the end as she\u2019s taking every fight that\u2019s come her way recently as this will be her fourth fight in 2023. Andrade seems to be falling off and Suarez was able to get the ring rust out of the way in her last fight, but Andrade is tough and I don\u2019t want to bet this fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The price is too high to bet on Suarez<\/strong>, but I don\u2019t want to bet on Andrade. To be safe, I\u2019ll lay off this fight and keep in mind this is the really obvious parlay piece on this card which should concern everyone as every casual bettor will surely be on Suarez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UFC Fight Night Nashville Main Event: Cory Sandhagen -305 v Rob Font +240<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Font\u2019s boxing looked great against Yanez in his last fight, and that was a much needed win after dropping two straight. Font got the early finish on a sick punch in round one, but here\u2019s the truth\u2026he was getting busted up by Yanez up until that point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He already had damage to his face when he got the finish, and it spells trouble for Font against Sandhagen. Sandhagen isn\u2019t going to absorb the shots that Yanez did, but I do think Sandhagen can land whatever he wants on Rob. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Font needs someone to stand in front of him and box so he can land the jabs and hooks, but Sandhagen\u2019s movement, guard and kicks will make it extremely difficult. I also think Sandhagen can get a takedown if he wants like he did against Marlon Vera last fight, and <strong>I see this fight being a showcase of all of Sandhagen\u2019s weapons<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Font\u2019s path to victory is to get Cory to stand and bang and then catch him with a big shot like he did with Yanez, but Sandhagen doesn\u2019t fight like that. He\u2019s too well rounded for Font and <strong>I think he wins this fight in convincing fashion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes border-style-solid padding: 6px;\"><table class=\"has-text-color has-background has-fixed-layout\" style=\"background-color:#ffa04b;color:#2e3192\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><\/th><th><\/th><th><\/th><th><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Sportsbook<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Welcome Bonus<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>States Available<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Get Your Bonus<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1.

Osbourne hasn\u2019t been impressive in the UFC going 4-3 with one of his wins being against a guy who is 4-4 as a pro. I\u2019m just not sure what he does great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He barely won a split decision against Charles Johnson (who I\u2019m not high on at all), and he didn\u2019t overwhelm with striking or takedowns or ground game, and in his previous fight he got KO\u2019d by Tyson Nam when he tried a really dumb flying knee that Nam cracked him on the way down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Almabaev is tough to figure out beach he hasn\u2019t been fighting great competition in BRAVE CF. He fights a lot like Osbourne where he has finishes on his record, but against who? He won a close split decision against Zach Makovsky who fought in Bellator and in the UFC, but back in the mid 2010\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s 40 now and has lost three out of four and he almost beat Almabaev. No play on picking a winner, but 100% this will be in To Start Round 2 parlay as <strong>I think this has going the distance written all over it<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Both guys appear to be equal and this could be a close one with neither fighter doing a lot of damage to the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<iframe src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iWOsUbzYPtE?origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com'><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jake Hadley -170 v Cody Durden +145<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I understand why Hadley is the favorite here, but I think this fight is pretty close. Hadley is going to be the more active fighter on the feet, and his kicks and punches are pretty quick, and his ground game is really good as evident by his submission over Candelario. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Durden is going to try and backpack Hadley and make it a pure wrestling match, and he may have success with it as this will be Hadley\u2019s toughest test outside of Allan Nascimento who handed him his first loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t have any interest in betting who will win this fight, but <strong>overs definitely have my attention<\/strong> and I will certainly play this fight to start round 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jeremiah Wells -150 v Carlston Harris +140<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Really good matchmaking here and the price is right where I would put it. Wells is 4-0 in the UFC and Harris is on a 5-1 run, but let\u2019s be honest\u2026not the best competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Harris just beat Jared Gooden who got booted from the UFC once before, and just isn\u2019t UFC caliber and Wells just beat Semelsberger who isn\u2019t looking good. I like Wells as his striking is definitely more crisp and in control on the feet as Harris lunges with his jabs and he telegraphs them with no creativity or set up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He was able to get Gooden on the ground in rounds two and three last fight, but Gooden is so bad and offered no defense. Wells used takedowns of his own against Semelsberger and did decent ground and pound, and Semelsberger is better than Gooden so Wells\u2019s performance was better than Harris\u2019s in my opinion. I think Wells is a bit better everywhere, but especially in the striking department. <strong>I like Wells in this one.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kyler Phillips -175 v Raoni Barcelos +150<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I think this price is about right as Barcelos just doesn\u2019t seem to have it anymore. He\u2019s 36, and 1-3 in his last four with his win being against Trevin Jones who is on an 0-4 skid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>His last fight he got KO\u2019s in the first round by Nurmagomedov, and his speed has clearly diminished. He really doesn\u2019t have any upside, and I don\u2019t think he has much advantage over Phillips anywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Phillips got a submission win in the third round against Rojo last time out showing that has skills that last over three rounds. Nurmagomedov was able to land kicks and strikes in the first round resulting in the KO, and I think Phillips will have the same success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Phillips doesn\u2019t have the power of Nurmagomedov, but Phillips just has to stay out of the way of the body and head kicks or Barcelos and he should wear down Barcelos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Barcelos\u2019s KO was a bad one as it was a short left hook and he bounced his head hard off the mat, and it was the first time he had been knocked out so it might be sign of things to come. <strong>Phillips is the play and -175 seems about the right price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Billy Quarantillo -175 v Damon Jackson +150<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe a bit of overreaction here on Jackson as he just got finished by Dan Ige, but Ige looked fantastic from start to finish in that fight, and while Billy Q is good, on his best day he isn\u2019t as good as Ige was in that fight against Daman Jackson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Before that fight Damon Jackson was 5-1 in the UFC with his loss being to Ilia Topuria. Billy Q fights are always fun with a lot of action, but he is actually 2-3 in his last five after Edson Barboza knocked him out with a knee in April. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Jackson\u2019s last two wins have come against wrestlers, but his decision win against Argueta doesn\u2019t tell the tale that Argueta was fighting up a weight division on short notice, and Jackson\u2019s win against Sabbatini was due to a quick head kick early in the fight that was a surprised to everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>It should be a fight with fireworks, and I give the edge to Billy Q with the speed and cardio if the fight gets to round 3. I\u2019m not excited about laying -175 so I probably won\u2019t, but <strong>if this fight is 1-1 going into round 3, I would live bet Billy as he should win round 3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ignacio Bahamondes -200 v Ludovit Klein +170<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I liked what I saw from Bahamondes in his last fight against Ogden as the 25 year old showed good use of his reach with his jabs and kicks. Ogden was on a 4-1 run coming into that fight so Bahamondes didn\u2019t beat a can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He controlled the pace and and the space in the ring. He didn\u2019t bloody up Ogden, but it was a great technical performance and his cardio was excellent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Klein is a solid striker, especially if he can close the distance and get in the pocket as he has good hand speed, but I think the length of Bahamondes is going to be the difference in this fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Jai Herbert used his length well last fight against Klein, and if not for the point taken away from Herbert, Klein would\u2019ve lost the fight. The price is a bit steep, but if you want to lower it <strong>take Bahamondes to win by decision as Klein is too smart and too tough to get finished<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tanner Boser -180 v Aleksa Camur +155<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Both these guys have little to no defense on the feet so I expect this fight to be sloppy and weirdly exciting at times. Tanner Boser moved to light heavyweight last fight and got promptly knocked out making it a 1-4 run for him in the UFC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He just can\u2019t block punches, he can\u2019t stop takedowns, and he just seems to do enough to lose fights. Camur isn\u2019t much better as he\u2019s lost his last two fights, but he does have decent power, but he\u2019s low volume with sloppy movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This is probably a loser leaves the UFC type of fight, and the only way to bet it is Dog Or Pass<\/strong>, but I\u2019ll happily not bet a penny on this fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Diego Lopes -130 v Gavin Tucker +110<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>We haven\u2019t seen Gavin Tucker in almost 2.5 years since his loss to Dan Ige, a fight he took on short notice, and he only lasted 22 seconds as Ige KO\u2019d him early. Before that Tucker had won three in a row over Quarantillo, Jaynes and Seung Woo Choi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I won\u2019t be betting on Gavin Tucker because of the inactivity of a guy that\u2019s 37 years old, and I just don\u2019t know what we\u2019ll get out of him. Lopes made his debut just a couple months ago against Evloev, and put on an incredible performance in his debut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Evloev was supposed to have the advantage everywhere but Lopes almost submitted Evloev a couple times, and more than held his own on the feet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I lean towards Lopes just because of how good he looked just within the last couple months<\/strong>, but I just can\u2019t get to the window with a bet on this fight as Tucker is a wildcard with the long layoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kennedy Nzechukwu -150 v Dustin Jacoby +130<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I like the progression that Kennedy is on, and I would go with him I this fight as I\u2019m down on Jacoby. Kennedy suffered back to back losses to Nicolai Negumereanu and Da Un Jung, but has rebounded nicely winning three in a row, all by finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He has shown toughness and a really good striking guard which has lead to opponents getting tired trying to unload on him in the clinch, and on the flip side he\u2019s shown great elbows and strikes in close. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Jacoby is a boxer who hasn\u2019t looked great in his last two fights losing a close one to Rountree and Murzakanov. In his last fight he really got pieced up on the feet and he lost the striking battle which is supposed to be his strong suit, and Jacoby had the long reach advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Based on what I\u2019ve seen from Jacoby the last two fights I don\u2019t see the upside in Jacoby, and Nzechukwu looks like he has more tools in the shed with his striking, clinch and submission game. <strong>I like Kennedy in this one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tatiana Suarez -450 v Jessica Andrade +360<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Suarez made her much anticipated return after injuries caused a big layoff, and she was able to get the win over De La Rosa, but it wasn\u2019t in the dominating form that she showed before the layoff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Suarez likes to maul her opponents and win on the ground with ground and pound or submission, and it\u2019s an interesting matchup against Andrade who has lost two in a row, but he losses were to a striker in Yan where Andrade got knocked out by the bigger and stronger fighter, and to Erin Blanchfield who is undefeated in the UFC and on her way to a title run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Andrade has the look of a fighter who is nearing the end as she\u2019s taking every fight that\u2019s come her way recently as this will be her fourth fight in 2023. Andrade seems to be falling off and Suarez was able to get the ring rust out of the way in her last fight, but Andrade is tough and I don\u2019t want to bet this fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The price is too high to bet on Suarez<\/strong>, but I don\u2019t want to bet on Andrade. To be safe, I\u2019ll lay off this fight and keep in mind this is the really obvious parlay piece on this card which should concern everyone as every casual bettor will surely be on Suarez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UFC Fight Night Nashville Main Event: Cory Sandhagen -305 v Rob Font +240<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Font\u2019s boxing looked great against Yanez in his last fight, and that was a much needed win after dropping two straight. Font got the early finish on a sick punch in round one, but here\u2019s the truth\u2026he was getting busted up by Yanez up until that point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He already had damage to his face when he got the finish, and it spells trouble for Font against Sandhagen. Sandhagen isn\u2019t going to absorb the shots that Yanez did, but I do think Sandhagen can land whatever he wants on Rob. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Font needs someone to stand in front of him and box so he can land the jabs and hooks, but Sandhagen\u2019s movement, guard and kicks will make it extremely difficult. I also think Sandhagen can get a takedown if he wants like he did against Marlon Vera last fight, and <strong>I see this fight being a showcase of all of Sandhagen\u2019s weapons<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Font\u2019s path to victory is to get Cory to stand and bang and then catch him with a big shot like he did with Yanez, but Sandhagen doesn\u2019t fight like that. He\u2019s too well rounded for Font and <strong>I think he wins this fight in convincing fashion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>**************************************************<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Looking for more free sports picks and sports betting tips?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n<ul>\n\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Make sure to bookmark all the above!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21224"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21224\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21228,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21224\/revisions\/21228"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
