However, his wins were against bums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t know how he\u2019s going to react to forward pressure, and he seems a bit lackadaisical at times, and I <strong>certainly won\u2019t be laying this price on him<\/strong>. We have no idea how Lopes will look so this fight is a stay away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Benjamin Bennett +105 vs Joey Hart -125<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a really close fight, but I like Bennett to get the nod here. Hart is tall, and has really long jabs, but he gets flat-footed during the fight, and he leaves his chin way too exposed and he\u2019s been clipped, but his opponents haven\u2019t taken advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bennett won\u2019t let him off the hook, and Bennett has some wrestling in his arsenal that I don\u2019t think Hart will respond to well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think Bennett is going to land more shots, have better forward pressure, and be more active with the takedowns. It\u2019ll be a close one, but I think <strong>Bennett grinds out a victory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dylan Mantello +145 vs Ahmad Hassanzada -175<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I faded Dylan Mantello the last time he was on Contender Series, and it worked at well as he was submitted in the first round on last season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He had a fight since then, and he got the KO win in the second round, but he was getting pieced up on the feet before he landed a great knee, and I just see too many holes in his game. He walks into too many punches, he doesn\u2019t have a great ground game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hassanzada can get clipped as well, but his strikes should be landing pretty easily on Mantello. He also has a submission win recently so that\u2019s an advantage for him. <strong>Hassanzada is the play<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DWCS Week 6 Main Event: Aaron Tau vs Elijah Smith<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tau is an interesting fighter as he\u2019s a brawler, super tough, but he\u2019s not super polished. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s really intense, and he has big explosions of offense, but there are lots of long stretches with no strikes thrown, and although he\u2019s shown big, exciting slam takedowns, he just doesn\u2019t do much with it, and I think the lack of activity is going to be a problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Smith has good power, and he has good takedowns, and control, and if he just avoids the huge explosions that Tau has,<\/strong> <strong>I think he pulls ahead the longer the fight goes<\/strong>.<\/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>DWCS Week 6 Betting Preview UFC WagerTalk handicapper Andy Lang gives his Week 6 DWCS picks and predictions for September 17th with the main event headlined by Aaron Tau and Elijah Smith in a bantamweight fight.

However, his wins were against bums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t know how he\u2019s going to react to forward pressure, and he seems a bit lackadaisical at times, and I <strong>certainly won\u2019t be laying this price on him<\/strong>. We have no idea how Lopes will look so this fight is a stay away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Benjamin Bennett +105 vs Joey Hart -125<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>This is a really close fight, but I like Bennett to get the nod here. Hart is tall, and has really long jabs, but he gets flat-footed during the fight, and he leaves his chin way too exposed and he\u2019s been clipped, but his opponents haven\u2019t taken advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Bennett won\u2019t let him off the hook, and Bennett has some wrestling in his arsenal that I don\u2019t think Hart will respond to well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I think Bennett is going to land more shots, have better forward pressure, and be more active with the takedowns. It\u2019ll be a close one, but I think <strong>Bennett grinds out a victory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dylan Mantello +145 vs Ahmad Hassanzada -175<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I faded Dylan Mantello the last time he was on Contender Series, and it worked at well as he was submitted in the first round on last season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He had a fight since then, and he got the KO win in the second round, but he was getting pieced up on the feet before he landed a great knee, and I just see too many holes in his game. He walks into too many punches, he doesn\u2019t have a great ground game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Hassanzada can get clipped as well, but his strikes should be landing pretty easily on Mantello. He also has a submission win recently so that\u2019s an advantage for him. <strong>Hassanzada is the play<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DWCS Week 6 Main Event: Aaron Tau vs Elijah Smith<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Tau is an interesting fighter as he\u2019s a brawler, super tough, but he\u2019s not super polished. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s really intense, and he has big explosions of offense, but there are lots of long stretches with no strikes thrown, and although he\u2019s shown big, exciting slam takedowns, he just doesn\u2019t do much with it, and I think the lack of activity is going to be a problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Smith has good power, and he has good takedowns, and control, and if he just avoids the huge explosions that Tau has,<\/strong> <strong>I think he pulls ahead the longer the fight goes<\/strong>.<\/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 class=\"wp-block-list\">\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\/31634","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=31634"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31634\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31635,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31634\/revisions\/31635"}],"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=31634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
