Enter Zarah Fairn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fairn is really bad. She\u2019s a big striker, but her strikes have no power behind them, she doesn\u2019t know how to wrestle, and she has no upside and a low floor. She\u2019s lost all three UFC fights, and in all three fights she looked bad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She\u2019s had trouble making weight, she\u2019s just one of the worst on the roster. So this was UFC\u2019s opportunity to get Fairn (she\u2019s from France) a fight in France, get Hailey Cowan a win, and get Fairn her fourth loss in a row so they can cut her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything was going to plan and then Cowan got hurt. Cavalcanti steps in, and she should dominate Fairn. Cavalcanti is a striker, but is way more powerful than Fairn, and has a nice array of kicks and counterpunches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She\u2019ll be able to walk Fairn down and land shots at will, and she won\u2019t have to worry about big counterstrikes coming back from Fairn. This <strong>line should move a lot towards Cavalcanti<\/strong> so if you\u2019re going to use her in a parlay, <strong>do it sooner rather than later<\/strong>.<\/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_13309\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w3SMcI1HQzo?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 Paris: Ciryl Gane vs. Serghei Spivak Predictions, Bets, Odds, Start Time\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/w3SMcI1HQzo\/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\/w3SMcI1HQzo\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"UFC Paris: Ciryl Gane vs. Serghei Spivak Predictions, Bets, Odds, Start Time\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Andy breaks down each fight for UFC Paris.

Basharat is a fantastic fighter who is good on the feet and he uses his strikes to set up takedowns where he doesn\u2019t do a ton of damage, but he holds opponents down, stays active, and wins the round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His last fight was a unanimous decision win against Blackshear, and that win has aged well as Blackshear has looked good in his next two fights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rodrigues is a bit tough to handicap as he knocked out Shannon Ross early in his last fight, and he lost a close fight to CJ Vergara before that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like Basharat because he controls the pace, and has terrific movement on the feet that opens up his kicks and strikes which sets up the takedowns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His game is a bit more controlled and mature than Rodrigues\u2019s so I like him to win. If you <strong>want to bet on Basharat<\/strong>, wait til props come out and <strong>take him to win by decision<\/strong> as he\u2019s not a finisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Morgan Charriere -291 v Manolo Zecchini<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a real mismatch in my opinion as Charriere should roll in this one and it\u2019s my favorite parlay piece on the card. Zecchini is 11-3, but has been fighting really bad competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has plenty of finishes on his resume, but just looking at his last two finishes, his opponents were very sloppy and left themselves wide open to strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He did his job, but he\u2019s not buttoned up with his striking and overall offense, and his defense was exposed three fights ago when he lost to Sufiev who pressed Zecchini forward on the feet and then dominated with wrestling and grappling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charriere can do the exact same thing to Zecchini, and I expect that he will. Last fight for Charriere he <strong>showed great cardio<\/strong> as he finished his opponent late in round three, and <strong>I like him to get another win in this one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taylor Lapilus -180 v Muin Gafurov +155<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think we\u2019re getting a nice price on the underdog here and that\u2019s the best value in this fight. Lapilus has won five fights in a row, but it\u2019s not against great competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His last three fights are against experienced fighters, but he\u2019s been fighting Ares FC which I don\u2019t think is as good as who Gafurov has been fighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gafurov is 3-3 in his last six, but he\u2019s lost to UFC caliber opponents including a loss to John Castaneda in his last fight where he fought really good, but got a point taken away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He can strike and grapple and his cardio is pretty solid. Lapilus can finish fights with his strikes, but Gafurov can as well so I don\u2019t understand why Gafurov is this big of an underdog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This should be a close fight that takes place on the feet, <strong>I\u2019ll take the underdog<\/strong> as I think the odds should be closer to even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ange Loosa -190 v Rhys Mckee +165<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interesting fight as Mckee lost two UFC fights, went to Cage Warriors and won three fights and made his return here against Loosa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe this fight will mostly take place on the feet with both guys being able to find success with strikes and kicks, but Loosa has the advantage in takedowns and that\u2019s what will give him the win here I believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Loosa was able to get the takedowns against AJ Fletcher in the last fight, and Mckee leaves himself pretty open for the takedowns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price is fair on Loosa ML, the the real value is going to be in the overs. <strong>I don\u2019t see a finish in this fight as both guys are able to defend the strikes<\/strong>, and while Loosa should be able to get the takedowns, he\u2019s not a finisher on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joselyne Edwards -140 v Nora Cornolle +110<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not real impressed with either fighter at this point, but Cornolle does not seem like she\u2019s UFC caliber. She won her last fight when she hit a front kick to the opponent\u2019s knee, and the opponent got injured, but other than that she didn\u2019t show much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her previous fight, she got taken down early in the first, but reversed the position and won by ground and pound, but the level of competition was pretty bad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwards is a striker that wants this fight to take place on the feet, and I believe Cornolle will oblige, but I think Edwards will throw more volume and be more effective, especially in later rounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cornolle hasn\u2019t been to the third round in her last six fights while Edwards has won her last three fights by decision. <strong>Edwards isn\u2019t a great UFC fighter<\/strong>, but she is still UFC caliber and <strong>I don\u2019t see Cornolle being better<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Volkan Oezdemir -152 v Bogdan Guskov +132<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can\u2019t believe this price isn\u2019t Oezdemir -300. Volkan is 1-3 in his last four fights, but his losses have been to Krylov, Ankalaev, and Prochazka. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are UFC championship caliber fighters. Guskov has fought in some shady leagues against some guys that went down pretty easily after a couple of strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His last five fights haven\u2019t gotten out of the first round, he doesn\u2019t appear to have any UFC-quality skills, and someone like Oezdemir should dominate him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would expect Oezdemir to test the ground game of Guskov as the takedown should be there, but even if it stays on the feet I like Volkan to win on the feet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The line completely confuses me, but maybe I\u2019m right and this proves to be a bargain price\u2026either way <strong>I\u2019ll be betting Oezdemir<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Caolan Loughran -350 v Yanis Ghemmouri +275<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loughran makes his anticipated UFC debut, and the 8-0 Prospect will be looking for another finish as seven of his eight wins have come by finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s a really tough striker who does a nice job of settling into the fight and using round one to read his opponents to set up the finish in round two. His last four fights have been wins in the second round so he\u2019s not afraid to go deeper into fights and he still has finishing power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His opponent comes from BRAVE and is 12-1, but is not real impressive on film. In his last fight, he just pushed his opponent against the cage for the first round, then got a takedown in round two before a knee ended it, but he was pretty low volume against a bad opponent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He won\u2019t be able to do that against Loughran, and from what I\u2019ve seen <strong>I believe Loughran wins this on the feet<\/strong>. It\u2019s a good parlay piece as Loughran\u2019s striking and cardio look great, and should be good enough to get the win for him here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thiago Moises -115 v Benoit Saint-Denis -105<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fight is unbettable in my opinion as it will be an absolute war, and anything could happen. Both guys are solid on the feet and on the ground, but I would give a slight edge to Thiago Moises on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fight <strong>could get finished early with a submission or a KO<\/strong> or it could go the distance with these guys being almost equaled so there\u2019s really <strong>no value anywhere<\/strong> in betting this fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>William Gomis -160 v Lucas Almeida +140<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a good stylistic matchup for Gomis as his kickboxing is better than Almeida\u2019s. In Almeida\u2019s last fight, he was dominated on the ground by Pat Sabbatini, but Gomis will want this to stay on the feet and he should have success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almeida has decent power, but he leaves himself open and Gomis\u2019s movement and awkward attacking style will give him problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almeida knocked out Trizano two fights ago, but Almeida was getting pieced up before that, and Trizano got damaged bad by a head clash so take that win with a grain of salt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gomis survived his last fight against Francis Marshall, and if you\u2019re looking for weaknesses in Gomis\u2019s game it\u2019s that he doesn\u2019t have much power, and he can be taken down and held there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Almeida doesn\u2019t seem to have the weapons to take advantage of those weaknesses, and I believe he\u2019ll get touched up early and often with jabs and kicks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gomis should win, and if you\u2019re looking for a good price, wait for the props to come out and <strong>take Gomis to win by decision<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Manon Fiorot -192 v Rose Namajunas +167<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m pretty surprised to see Fiorot this big of a favorite in this fight. She hasn\u2019t lost in the UFC, and she\u2019s beaten good opponents like Mayra Beno Silva and Katlyn Chookagian, but to be almost 2-1 to someone like Rose who has beaten Weili Zhang seems a bit too generous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with betting on Ros Namajunas has nothing to do with her ability, it\u2019s her mindset and what advice is she getting from her corner in the fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her last fight against Carla Esparza was truly bizarre where her corner was telling her she was winning when it was clearly a very close fight, and it probably cost her a win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was so tentative and low volume, and if that version of Rose shows up, Fiorot is going to roll. However, if we get the focused and aggressive Rose who can show elite kicks and punches, I think she can absolutely overwhelm Fiorot and present Fiorot with power and speed that she hasn\u2019t seen before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her fight against Esparza is going to be hard to get out of our heads, but I\u2019m willing to bet that she comes out very focused and ready to go. <strong>I\u2019ll take a sprinkle on the underdog here<\/strong> to get back to her winning ways with striking that will wear down Fiorot over the course of the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UFC Fight Night Main Event: Ciryl Gane -165 v Sergey Spivac +140<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ciryl Gane has lost two out of three, and it\u2019s because he couldn\u2019t stop the takedowns against Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou. It\u2019s a massive problem for him against Spivac as Spivac has built up a lethal ground game getting him three wins in a row by finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Spivac gets Gane to the ground, Spivac could absolutely work for a submission or ground and pound, but I believe that Gane has been working for a year on takedown defense, and he may not be able to stuff everything from Spivac, but I do believe he\u2019ll slow Spivak down enough to keep it on the feet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gane will have a big striking advantage<\/strong> and over five rounds I see him wearing Spivac down with his long jabs and solid clinch game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gane\u2019s last fight in Paris was a striking showcase against Tai Tuivasa resulting in a <strong>KO win for Gane<\/strong>, and I don\u2019t think he\u2019ll get the finish, but <strong>I do see him winning by decision<\/strong> with a solid striking performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Ciryl Gane by Decision<\/strong><\/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.

Enter Zarah Fairn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Fairn is really bad. She\u2019s a big striker, but her strikes have no power behind them, she doesn\u2019t know how to wrestle, and she has no upside and a low floor. She\u2019s lost all three UFC fights, and in all three fights she looked bad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>She\u2019s had trouble making weight, she\u2019s just one of the worst on the roster. So this was UFC\u2019s opportunity to get Fairn (she\u2019s from France) a fight in France, get Hailey Cowan a win, and get Fairn her fourth loss in a row so they can cut her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Everything was going to plan and then Cowan got hurt. Cavalcanti steps in, and she should dominate Fairn. Cavalcanti is a striker, but is way more powerful than Fairn, and has a nice array of kicks and counterpunches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>She\u2019ll be able to walk Fairn down and land shots at will, and she won\u2019t have to worry about big counterstrikes coming back from Fairn. This <strong>line should move a lot towards Cavalcanti<\/strong> so if you\u2019re going to use her in a parlay, <strong>do it sooner rather than later<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<iframe src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w3SMcI1HQzo?origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com'><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Farid Basharat -245 v Kleydson Rodrigues +210<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I like Basharat in this one, I just don\u2019t know if the -245 is a fair price. Basharat is a fantastic fighter who is good on the feet and he uses his strikes to set up takedowns where he doesn\u2019t do a ton of damage, but he holds opponents down, stays active, and wins the round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>His last fight was a unanimous decision win against Blackshear, and that win has aged well as Blackshear has looked good in his next two fights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Rodrigues is a bit tough to handicap as he knocked out Shannon Ross early in his last fight, and he lost a close fight to CJ Vergara before that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I like Basharat because he controls the pace, and has terrific movement on the feet that opens up his kicks and strikes which sets up the takedowns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>His game is a bit more controlled and mature than Rodrigues\u2019s so I like him to win. If you <strong>want to bet on Basharat<\/strong>, wait til props come out and <strong>take him to win by decision<\/strong> as he\u2019s not a finisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Morgan Charriere -291 v Manolo Zecchini<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>This is a real mismatch in my opinion as Charriere should roll in this one and it\u2019s my favorite parlay piece on the card. Zecchini is 11-3, but has been fighting really bad competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He has plenty of finishes on his resume, but just looking at his last two finishes, his opponents were very sloppy and left themselves wide open to strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He did his job, but he\u2019s not buttoned up with his striking and overall offense, and his defense was exposed three fights ago when he lost to Sufiev who pressed Zecchini forward on the feet and then dominated with wrestling and grappling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Charriere can do the exact same thing to Zecchini, and I expect that he will. Last fight for Charriere he <strong>showed great cardio<\/strong> as he finished his opponent late in round three, and <strong>I like him to get another win in this one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taylor Lapilus -180 v Muin Gafurov +155<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I think we\u2019re getting a nice price on the underdog here and that\u2019s the best value in this fight. Lapilus has won five fights in a row, but it\u2019s not against great competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>His last three fights are against experienced fighters, but he\u2019s been fighting Ares FC which I don\u2019t think is as good as who Gafurov has been fighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Gafurov is 3-3 in his last six, but he\u2019s lost to UFC caliber opponents including a loss to John Castaneda in his last fight where he fought really good, but got a point taken away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He can strike and grapple and his cardio is pretty solid. Lapilus can finish fights with his strikes, but Gafurov can as well so I don\u2019t understand why Gafurov is this big of an underdog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>This should be a close fight that takes place on the feet, <strong>I\u2019ll take the underdog<\/strong> as I think the odds should be closer to even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ange Loosa -190 v Rhys Mckee +165<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Interesting fight as Mckee lost two UFC fights, went to Cage Warriors and won three fights and made his return here against Loosa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I believe this fight will mostly take place on the feet with both guys being able to find success with strikes and kicks, but Loosa has the advantage in takedowns and that\u2019s what will give him the win here I believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p> Loosa was able to get the takedowns against AJ Fletcher in the last fight, and Mckee leaves himself pretty open for the takedowns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The price is fair on Loosa ML, the the real value is going to be in the overs. <strong>I don\u2019t see a finish in this fight as both guys are able to defend the strikes<\/strong>, and while Loosa should be able to get the takedowns, he\u2019s not a finisher on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joselyne Edwards -140 v Nora Cornolle +110<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not real impressed with either fighter at this point, but Cornolle does not seem like she\u2019s UFC caliber. She won her last fight when she hit a front kick to the opponent\u2019s knee, and the opponent got injured, but other than that she didn\u2019t show much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>In her previous fight, she got taken down early in the first, but reversed the position and won by ground and pound, but the level of competition was pretty bad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Edwards is a striker that wants this fight to take place on the feet, and I believe Cornolle will oblige, but I think Edwards will throw more volume and be more effective, especially in later rounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Cornolle hasn\u2019t been to the third round in her last six fights while Edwards has won her last three fights by decision. <strong>Edwards isn\u2019t a great UFC fighter<\/strong>, but she is still UFC caliber and <strong>I don\u2019t see Cornolle being better<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Volkan Oezdemir -152 v Bogdan Guskov +132<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I can\u2019t believe this price isn\u2019t Oezdemir -300. Volkan is 1-3 in his last four fights, but his losses have been to Krylov, Ankalaev, and Prochazka. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>These are UFC championship caliber fighters. Guskov has fought in some shady leagues against some guys that went down pretty easily after a couple of strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>His last five fights haven\u2019t gotten out of the first round, he doesn\u2019t appear to have any UFC-quality skills, and someone like Oezdemir should dominate him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I would expect Oezdemir to test the ground game of Guskov as the takedown should be there, but even if it stays on the feet I like Volkan to win on the feet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The line completely confuses me, but maybe I\u2019m right and this proves to be a bargain price\u2026either way <strong>I\u2019ll be betting Oezdemir<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Caolan Loughran -350 v Yanis Ghemmouri +275<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Loughran makes his anticipated UFC debut, and the 8-0 Prospect will be looking for another finish as seven of his eight wins have come by finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s a really tough striker who does a nice job of settling into the fight and using round one to read his opponents to set up the finish in round two. His last four fights have been wins in the second round so he\u2019s not afraid to go deeper into fights and he still has finishing power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>His opponent comes from BRAVE and is 12-1, but is not real impressive on film. In his last fight, he just pushed his opponent against the cage for the first round, then got a takedown in round two before a knee ended it, but he was pretty low volume against a bad opponent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He won\u2019t be able to do that against Loughran, and from what I\u2019ve seen <strong>I believe Loughran wins this on the feet<\/strong>. It\u2019s a good parlay piece as Loughran\u2019s striking and cardio look great, and should be good enough to get the win for him here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thiago Moises -115 v Benoit Saint-Denis -105<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>This fight is unbettable in my opinion as it will be an absolute war, and anything could happen. Both guys are solid on the feet and on the ground, but I would give a slight edge to Thiago Moises on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>This fight <strong>could get finished early with a submission or a KO<\/strong> or it could go the distance with these guys being almost equaled so there\u2019s really <strong>no value anywhere<\/strong> in betting this fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>William Gomis -160 v Lucas Almeida +140<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>This is a good stylistic matchup for Gomis as his kickboxing is better than Almeida\u2019s. In Almeida\u2019s last fight, he was dominated on the ground by Pat Sabbatini, but Gomis will want this to stay on the feet and he should have success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Almeida has decent power, but he leaves himself open and Gomis\u2019s movement and awkward attacking style will give him problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Almeida knocked out Trizano two fights ago, but Almeida was getting pieced up before that, and Trizano got damaged bad by a head clash so take that win with a grain of salt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Gomis survived his last fight against Francis Marshall, and if you\u2019re looking for weaknesses in Gomis\u2019s game it\u2019s that he doesn\u2019t have much power, and he can be taken down and held there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>However, Almeida doesn\u2019t seem to have the weapons to take advantage of those weaknesses, and I believe he\u2019ll get touched up early and often with jabs and kicks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Gomis should win, and if you\u2019re looking for a good price, wait for the props to come out and <strong>take Gomis to win by decision<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Manon Fiorot -192 v Rose Namajunas +167<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m pretty surprised to see Fiorot this big of a favorite in this fight. She hasn\u2019t lost in the UFC, and she\u2019s beaten good opponents like Mayra Beno Silva and Katlyn Chookagian, but to be almost 2-1 to someone like Rose who has beaten Weili Zhang seems a bit too generous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with betting on Ros Namajunas has nothing to do with her ability, it\u2019s her mindset and what advice is she getting from her corner in the fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Her last fight against Carla Esparza was truly bizarre where her corner was telling her she was winning when it was clearly a very close fight, and it probably cost her a win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>She was so tentative and low volume, and if that version of Rose shows up, Fiorot is going to roll. However, if we get the focused and aggressive Rose who can show elite kicks and punches, I think she can absolutely overwhelm Fiorot and present Fiorot with power and speed that she hasn\u2019t seen before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Her fight against Esparza is going to be hard to get out of our heads, but I\u2019m willing to bet that she comes out very focused and ready to go. <strong>I\u2019ll take a sprinkle on the underdog here<\/strong> to get back to her winning ways with striking that will wear down Fiorot over the course of the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UFC Fight Night Main Event: Ciryl Gane -165 v Sergey Spivac +140<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Ciryl Gane has lost two out of three, and it\u2019s because he couldn\u2019t stop the takedowns against Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou. It\u2019s a massive problem for him against Spivac as Spivac has built up a lethal ground game getting him three wins in a row by finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>If Spivac gets Gane to the ground, Spivac could absolutely work for a submission or ground and pound, but I believe that Gane has been working for a year on takedown defense, and he may not be able to stuff everything from Spivac, but I do believe he\u2019ll slow Spivak down enough to keep it on the feet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gane will have a big striking advantage<\/strong> and over five rounds I see him wearing Spivac down with his long jabs and solid clinch game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Gane\u2019s last fight in Paris was a striking showcase against Tai Tuivasa resulting in a <strong>KO win for Gane<\/strong>, and I don\u2019t think he\u2019ll get the finish, but <strong>I do see him winning by decision<\/strong> with a solid striking performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Ciryl Gane by Decision<\/strong><\/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\/22656","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=22656"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22656\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22657,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22656\/revisions\/22657"}],"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=22656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
