PFL Pittsburgh Predictions<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dalton Rosta -185 vs Impa Kasanganay +154\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Money is coming in on Rosta and I agree with it. Kasanganay hasn\u2019t looked good in his last three fights \u2014 his speed is declining, durability is fading, and his strength doesn\u2019t look the same.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosta is younger, stronger, and likely faster. Kasanganay has the experience edge, but he\u2019s not reliable at this stage. Rosta is the pick<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ariane Da Silva -175 vs Sumiko Inaba +145\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Da Silva makes her PFL debut here. She lost three straight in the UFC, but those came against\u00a0strong competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has decent striking, solid volume, and some respectable wins, though her ground game isn\u2019t great. Inaba isn\u2019t particularly dangerous \u2014 she can match Silva on the feet,\u00a0but Silva should land the more meaningful shots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inaba could try to wrestle, but it\u2019s unlikely she\u00a0sustains that for three rounds. Slight lean to Da Silva<\/strong>, but not a betting spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexei Pergande -130 vs Julio Arce +110\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arce is 36 and looks well past his prime. After being cut from the UFC, he fought lower-level\u00a0 competition before landing in PFL. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pergande is only 24, much quicker, and should have a clear\u00a0speed advantage in the striking exchanges. That speed difference should be the key factor here.\u00a0Pergande is the pick<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lazaro Dayron -1900 v Jacob Thrall +1000 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This should end quickly. Dayron is a major prospect and PFL is clearly setting him up with a\u00a0favorable matchup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thrall is a journeyman with limited skills and not at this level. If props are\u00a0available, Dayron by first-round finish is the best look<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PFL Pittsburgh Main Event: Johnny Eblen -420 vs Bryan Battle +310<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eblen should have the wrestling advantage, but he\u2019s coming off the first loss of his career where\u00a0 he was submitted late and lost his belt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a tricky spot mentally, going from champion to a\u00a0 non-title fight. Battle was released from the UFC after missing weight and dealing with personal\u00a0issues, but appears to be in a better place now and has won two dirty boxing fights before joining\u00a0PFL. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Eblen can\u2019t consistently land takedowns, Battle should have the advantage on the feet.\u00a0The price on Eblen feels too high<\/strong> \u2014 dog or pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
