Costa likes to grapple, but I don\u2019t think he\u2019s elite, and Nuerdanbieke should be able to defend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fight should be closer than it looks, <strong>the value is on the underdog<\/strong>. I probably won\u2019t bet it, but I certainly wouldn\u2019t lay this with Costa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Josefine Knutsson -230 v Julia Polastri +190<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knutsson has been very good to us as we\u2019ve cashed on her Contender Series fight and her UFC debut. She has a kickboxing background and has great volume with her striking, really good accuracy and cardio as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She doesn\u2019t have a ton of power so it\u2019s kind of like death by a thousand papercuts, but it\u2019s effective, and I think it will be here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polastri doesn\u2019t have good striking defense, and her strikes are wild which I think Knutsson will be able to defend. Polastri won her Contender Series fight by rear naked choke, but it wasn\u2019t an impressive performance, and I don\u2019t see her overpowering or outstriking Knutsson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can play Knutsson to win, but I would just <strong>wait and play her to win by decision<\/strong>. She only has one finish in 11 MMA and kickboxing fights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jeka Saragih -340 v Westin Wilson +270<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UFC must not like Westin Wilson. They brought him in to get knocked out by power strikers in Joanderson Brito and Jean Silva, and now he faces Jeka Saragih who primarily wins by knockouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saragih doesn\u2019t have a great overall skillset, but his power can\u2019t be ignored, and I\u2019m not sure Wilson has the tools to avoid the knockout for the whole fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilson took Silva down once in his last fight so maybe he can try and implement a ground game attack, but his cardio and durability don\u2019t look good. Saragih by KO will be the popular play this week, but it\u2019s hard to argue with that play. <strong>Unders and Saragih by finish<\/strong> are how to bet this fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gabriella Fernandes -238 v Carli Judice +195<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judice doesn\u2019t have a lot of expeerience, but she put on an amazing performance on Contender Series as her and her opponents landed 200+ strikes each. She showed toughness, cardio, and a skillset you don\u2019t see from someone with only four professional fights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, I think this is going to be a tough fight for her, and I think Fernandes gets the win. Fernandes has lost her two UFC fights, but she fought Bleda and Jasudavicious, two wrestlers who took her down and grinded out wins against her, but Judice won\u2019t do that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fernandes is strong, and has more power in her strikes, and that will be obvious from the beginning. <strong>Fernandes is a confident pick here<\/strong>, and I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if she gets the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Garrett Armfield -170 v Brady Hiestand +142<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Armfield lost his debut in the UFC, and I wasn\u2019t impressed, but he\u2019s improved a ton, and it\u2019s resulted in him winning his next two fights including a great performance against Brad Katona where he showed really good volume of striking, and cardio, but the concern was that Katona was able control him a few times, but the judges didn\u2019t seem to count it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiestand can wrestle, but he hasn\u2019t shown it recently, but when he he did get Danna on the ground late, he got the ground and pound win so I know he can do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although he knocked out Danna in his last fight, he really got beat up on the feet, and I though he looked slow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If <strong>Armfield fights like he did against Katona, I think he wears down Hiestand<\/strong> on the feet and cruises to a victory, and that\u2019s what my pick will be here, but it\u2019s not super confident because Hiestand has an advantage with the takedowns and control game, I just don\u2019t know if he\u2019ll use it.<\/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_23317\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qg4RfJZAzlU?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 Vegas 93 Predictions, Fight Card and Best Bets | Alex Perez vs Tatsuro Taira and More!\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Qg4RfJZAzlU\/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\/Qg4RfJZAzlU\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"UFC Vegas 93 Predictions, Fight Card and Best Bets | Alex Perez vs Tatsuro Taira and More!\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"\ud83d\udc4a Dive deep into the heart of UFC Vegas 93 with our comprehensive analysis, predictions, and best bets for the highly anticipated fight card headlined by Tatsuro Taira vs Alex Perez.

Van is a good striker, but this is a huge step up in competition as he\u2019s fought lower-level UFC guys, and Ulanbekov has elite skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van is going to have to start off strong and piece up Ulanbekov from the start to slow him down from shooting takedowns, but I think that might be too tall of a task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van got taken down once against Bunes in his last fight so Ulanbekov will be licking his chops seeing that. <strong>Ulanbekov is the play<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Adam Fugitt -115 v Josh Quinlan -105<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not a fan of Fugitt, but I\u2019m even less of a fan of Quinlan. Quinlan got busted for a banned substance, and since then he\u2019s knocked out Jason Witt (everyone does that), and then he\u2019s lost to Trey Waters and Danny Barlow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He doesn\u2019t seem to have the power or durability, and I really do have to wonder if he\u2019s just not a great fighter if he\u2019s off the juice. Fugitt is tough and rugged, and his fighting style isn\u2019t pretty, but he can push forward, clinch, and frustrate his opponent, and he has power as his last seven wins have been by finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cardio is an issue for Fugitt if it gets to the third, but I just don\u2019t think Quinlan is powerful enough to damage Fugitt, and Quinlan isn\u2019t great in the wrestling or grappling game. It\u2019s certainly a great price, I think <strong>Fugitt is worth a play<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Asu Almabaev -410 v Jose Johnson +320<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though I think Almabaev wins, this price is really steep, and I won\u2019t play it. Almabaev has looked good in his two UFC fights winning both of them, and his takedowns and pressure have looked really good, and will probably look good against Johnson as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Johnson is tall and lanky, and I wonder if it\u2019s going to give Almabaev trouble on his shoots. Johnson has long legs and good front kicks, and if he get those working early he can frustrate Almabaev. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almabaev is quicker and more active on the feet so he should get the win here, but I\u2019m not willing to lay this price on him. <strong>This is a stay away<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Douglans Silva de Andrade -115 v Miles Johns -105<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The odds tell us that this fight should be close, and I agree completely. Both guys are tough, durable, and have shown good cardio recently, although Miles Johns has had cardio issues in the past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He showed great cardio against Argueta two fights ago, but he got popped for a banned substance so that made sense, and in his next fight agaisnt Gibson, he seemed to manage it ok. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andrade is coming off a win against Cody Stamann that I\u2019m not sure he won, and I think every round is going to be close as both guys can wrestle, they throw strikes, but not a lot of volume, and not big time power so I think the best way to bet this fight is to take the over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once it gets out of the first round, both guys will just be trying to manage their energy, and I don\u2019t see them having KO power. <strong>Fight to go the distance is how I would play this one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Timmy Cuamba -180 v Lucas Almeida +150<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almeida is 14-3 as a professional, but his three losses are in the UFC and on Contender Series so it looks obvious to me that he\u2019s reached his ceiling. He\u2019s been submitted and knocked out in his two UFC fights, but it\u2019s the KO that should be the concern because Cuamba is a striker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I liked Cuamba going into his Contender Series fight, and although he lost by split decision, he looked really good, and he lost to Bolaji Oki who is highly rated prospect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cuamba has good striking, volume and cardio, and as much as I want to bet on him, the fighters coming off of Contender Series have performed poorly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I have a guy in Almeida I want to fade, but I have a Contender Series guy making his debut so I\u2019ll exercise caution and <strong>stay away from betting this fight<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ikram Aliskerov -900 v Antonio Trocoli +600<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This should be a massacre as Trocoli is inactive, and is stepping in short notice to get destroyed here. The price is appropriate, but it\u2019s not bettable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just wait til props come out and <strong>play Aliskerov to win inside the distance<\/strong>. No other analysis is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UFC Fight Night Main Event: Alex Perez +165 vs Tatsuro Taira -200<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The books aren\u2019t overreacting the Perez\u2019s last win, and that\u2019s smart on their part as I have to give him credit for knocking out Nicolau, but something was off with Nicolau as he looked asleep from the beginning of the fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perez will have to show the same aggressiveness with his striking against Taira because we know how dangerous Taira can be on the ground, and Perez struggles in that area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taira got his first KO win of his career in his last fight against Carlos Hernandez, but if tries to stand and strike with Perez he\u2019ll be playing with fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll assume that Taira won\u2019t mess around, and he\u2019ll get this to the ground sooner rather than later, but I\u2019m not willing to lay this price on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I think taking this fight to not go the distance is the best way to play it<\/strong> as Perez has KO power on the feet, but Taira can submit him on the ground. Either way, I think the winner gets the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>**************************************************<\/strong><\/p>\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<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Latest Betting Odds and Public Action<\/strong><strong>: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wt.buzz\/odds\" data-schema-attribute=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vegas lines<\/a> updated in real time, including who the public is betting on. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Last Minute Handicapping Advice<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">: Check out our extensive library of <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/sports-betting-guide\">handicapping tips<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and advice from professional Vegas handicappers (we also recommend taking the time to look over our <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/videos\">sports betting tips video library<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Want an expert opinion?<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> Check out the latest <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/free-sports-picks\">Free Sports Picks<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/picks\">Best Bets<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> from our team of expert sports handicappers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Make sure to bookmark all the above!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC Fight Night Betting Preview UFC WagerTalk handicapper Andy Lang gives his UFC Fight Night predictions and picks for June 15th with Alex Perez and Tatsuro Taira headlining the main event in a flyweight fight.

Costa likes to grapple, but I don\u2019t think he\u2019s elite, and Nuerdanbieke should be able to defend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>This fight should be closer than it looks, <strong>the value is on the underdog<\/strong>. I probably won\u2019t bet it, but I certainly wouldn\u2019t lay this with Costa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Josefine Knutsson -230 v Julia Polastri +190<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Knutsson has been very good to us as we\u2019ve cashed on her Contender Series fight and her UFC debut. She has a kickboxing background and has great volume with her striking, really good accuracy and cardio as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>She doesn\u2019t have a ton of power so it\u2019s kind of like death by a thousand papercuts, but it\u2019s effective, and I think it will be here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Polastri doesn\u2019t have good striking defense, and her strikes are wild which I think Knutsson will be able to defend. Polastri won her Contender Series fight by rear naked choke, but it wasn\u2019t an impressive performance, and I don\u2019t see her overpowering or outstriking Knutsson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>You can play Knutsson to win, but I would just <strong>wait and play her to win by decision<\/strong>. She only has one finish in 11 MMA and kickboxing fights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jeka Saragih -340 v Westin Wilson +270<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The UFC must not like Westin Wilson. They brought him in to get knocked out by power strikers in Joanderson Brito and Jean Silva, and now he faces Jeka Saragih who primarily wins by knockouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Saragih doesn\u2019t have a great overall skillset, but his power can\u2019t be ignored, and I\u2019m not sure Wilson has the tools to avoid the knockout for the whole fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Wilson took Silva down once in his last fight so maybe he can try and implement a ground game attack, but his cardio and durability don\u2019t look good. Saragih by KO will be the popular play this week, but it\u2019s hard to argue with that play. <strong>Unders and Saragih by finish<\/strong> are how to bet this fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gabriella Fernandes -238 v Carli Judice +195<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Judice doesn\u2019t have a lot of expeerience, but she put on an amazing performance on Contender Series as her and her opponents landed 200+ strikes each. She showed toughness, cardio, and a skillset you don\u2019t see from someone with only four professional fights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>However, I think this is going to be a tough fight for her, and I think Fernandes gets the win. Fernandes has lost her two UFC fights, but she fought Bleda and Jasudavicious, two wrestlers who took her down and grinded out wins against her, but Judice won\u2019t do that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Fernandes is strong, and has more power in her strikes, and that will be obvious from the beginning. <strong>Fernandes is a confident pick here<\/strong>, and I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if she gets the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Garrett Armfield -170 v Brady Hiestand +142<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Armfield lost his debut in the UFC, and I wasn\u2019t impressed, but he\u2019s improved a ton, and it\u2019s resulted in him winning his next two fights including a great performance against Brad Katona where he showed really good volume of striking, and cardio, but the concern was that Katona was able control him a few times, but the judges didn\u2019t seem to count it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Hiestand can wrestle, but he hasn\u2019t shown it recently, but when he he did get Danna on the ground late, he got the ground and pound win so I know he can do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Although he knocked out Danna in his last fight, he really got beat up on the feet, and I though he looked slow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>If <strong>Armfield fights like he did against Katona, I think he wears down Hiestand<\/strong> on the feet and cruises to a victory, and that\u2019s what my pick will be here, but it\u2019s not super confident because Hiestand has an advantage with the takedowns and control game, I just don\u2019t know if he\u2019ll use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<iframe src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qg4RfJZAzlU?origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com'><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nate Maness -410 v Jimmy Flick +320<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Betting against Jimmy Flick when he returned to the UFC was easy money for two fights, but they found a guy he could beat in Malcolm Gordon, and that\u2019s what he did as Gordon did the one thing you can\u2019t do against Flick, and that\u2019s get on the ground into a submission position as that\u2019s all Flick can do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Flick\u2019s striking is non-existent, and Maness is smart enough to know he needs to stay on the feet, and he should get the victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re betting on Jimmy Flick, you <strong>bet on him to win by submission or you can just take this fight to not go the distance<\/strong>, but Maness should win this fight, and don\u2019t be surprised if he stuffs the takedowns of Flick, and knocks Flick out on the feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tagir Ulanbekov -230 v Joshua Van +190<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Ulanbekov is the rightful favorite here as his skillset is better than Van\u2019s, especially the grappling and ground game. Van is a good striker, but this is a huge step up in competition as he\u2019s fought lower-level UFC guys, and Ulanbekov has elite skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Van is going to have to start off strong and piece up Ulanbekov from the start to slow him down from shooting takedowns, but I think that might be too tall of a task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Van got taken down once against Bunes in his last fight so Ulanbekov will be licking his chops seeing that. <strong>Ulanbekov is the play<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Adam Fugitt -115 v Josh Quinlan -105<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not a fan of Fugitt, but I\u2019m even less of a fan of Quinlan. Quinlan got busted for a banned substance, and since then he\u2019s knocked out Jason Witt (everyone does that), and then he\u2019s lost to Trey Waters and Danny Barlow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He doesn\u2019t seem to have the power or durability, and I really do have to wonder if he\u2019s just not a great fighter if he\u2019s off the juice. Fugitt is tough and rugged, and his fighting style isn\u2019t pretty, but he can push forward, clinch, and frustrate his opponent, and he has power as his last seven wins have been by finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Cardio is an issue for Fugitt if it gets to the third, but I just don\u2019t think Quinlan is powerful enough to damage Fugitt, and Quinlan isn\u2019t great in the wrestling or grappling game. It\u2019s certainly a great price, I think <strong>Fugitt is worth a play<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Asu Almabaev -410 v Jose Johnson +320<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Even though I think Almabaev wins, this price is really steep, and I won\u2019t play it. Almabaev has looked good in his two UFC fights winning both of them, and his takedowns and pressure have looked really good, and will probably look good against Johnson as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>However, Johnson is tall and lanky, and I wonder if it\u2019s going to give Almabaev trouble on his shoots. Johnson has long legs and good front kicks, and if he get those working early he can frustrate Almabaev. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Almabaev is quicker and more active on the feet so he should get the win here, but I\u2019m not willing to lay this price on him. <strong>This is a stay away<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Douglans Silva de Andrade -115 v Miles Johns -105<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The odds tell us that this fight should be close, and I agree completely. Both guys are tough, durable, and have shown good cardio recently, although Miles Johns has had cardio issues in the past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He showed great cardio against Argueta two fights ago, but he got popped for a banned substance so that made sense, and in his next fight agaisnt Gibson, he seemed to manage it ok. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Andrade is coming off a win against Cody Stamann that I\u2019m not sure he won, and I think every round is going to be close as both guys can wrestle, they throw strikes, but not a lot of volume, and not big time power so I think the best way to bet this fight is to take the over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Once it gets out of the first round, both guys will just be trying to manage their energy, and I don\u2019t see them having KO power. <strong>Fight to go the distance is how I would play this one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Timmy Cuamba -180 v Lucas Almeida +150<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Almeida is 14-3 as a professional, but his three losses are in the UFC and on Contender Series so it looks obvious to me that he\u2019s reached his ceiling. He\u2019s been submitted and knocked out in his two UFC fights, but it\u2019s the KO that should be the concern because Cuamba is a striker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I liked Cuamba going into his Contender Series fight, and although he lost by split decision, he looked really good, and he lost to Bolaji Oki who is highly rated prospect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Cuamba has good striking, volume and cardio, and as much as I want to bet on him, the fighters coming off of Contender Series have performed poorly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>So, I have a guy in Almeida I want to fade, but I have a Contender Series guy making his debut so I\u2019ll exercise caution and <strong>stay away from betting this fight<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ikram Aliskerov -900 v Antonio Trocoli +600<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>This should be a massacre as Trocoli is inactive, and is stepping in short notice to get destroyed here. The price is appropriate, but it\u2019s not bettable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Just wait til props come out and <strong>play Aliskerov to win inside the distance<\/strong>. No other analysis is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UFC Fight Night Main Event: Alex Perez +165 vs Tatsuro Taira -200<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The books aren\u2019t overreacting the Perez\u2019s last win, and that\u2019s smart on their part as I have to give him credit for knocking out Nicolau, but something was off with Nicolau as he looked asleep from the beginning of the fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Perez will have to show the same aggressiveness with his striking against Taira because we know how dangerous Taira can be on the ground, and Perez struggles in that area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Taira got his first KO win of his career in his last fight against Carlos Hernandez, but if tries to stand and strike with Perez he\u2019ll be playing with fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll assume that Taira won\u2019t mess around, and he\u2019ll get this to the ground sooner rather than later, but I\u2019m not willing to lay this price on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I think taking this fight to not go the distance is the best way to play it<\/strong> as Perez has KO power on the feet, but Taira can submit him on the ground. Either way, I think the winner gets the finish.<\/p>\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\/28881","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=28881"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28881\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28883,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28881\/revisions\/28883"}],"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=28881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
