A lackluster card lost one of it’s better fighters in Mosvar Evloev Thursday when his fight was canceled. That leaves eleven fights with a lot of unknowns. The easy way to gain leverage is with one of the Chinese underdogs in the main of co-main, both of whom are live. Leave plenty of salary on the table here, as well. Lineups lock overnight, so be careful.
Fighter(s) | Price | Opponent | Risk | Odds | ITD | BreakDown | |
Main Event | Jessica Andrade vs Weili Zhang | 8700/7500 | - | Stackability: Safe | -165/ +155 | +145/+450 | Andrade is super talented and tough as nails. Her wrestling is unmatched by most women. The whole in her game is striking defense. This fight likely comes down to how well Zhang defends the takedown early on. She's pretty strong for the weight class so I can see her having success there and getting off on the feet. That will make for a very entertaining second half of this title fight. It's a fine cash stack with the loser likely to score well. |
Expensive | Kai Kara-France | 9100 | Mark De La Rosa | Safe | -210 | +335 | This feels like a softball for KKF on familiar turf for the kickboxer. De La Rosa is a submission specialist that can't get fights to the ground against any decent opponent. That makes him a punching bag here. |
Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos | 9200 | Jingliang Li | Moderate | -260 | +100 | dos Santos knows how to finish a fight. He's proved doubters wrong time and time again in the octagon. This is tall task against the gritty Li, though. There's not many options that can win ITD so we're stuck playing him. | |
Khadis Ibragimov | 9300 | Da Un Jung | Moderate | -250 | +105 | ||
Damir Ismagulov | 9000 | Thiago Moises | Risky | -185 | +485 | The gameplan for Ismagulov is to emulate Beneil Dariush's pressure in his victory over Moises. Easy to say, much more dificult to do. Still, that probably involves a heavy dose of wrestling. | |
Mid-Range | Derrick Krantz | 8000 | Kenan Song | Somewhat-Safe | -110 | +185 | Krantz can throw heaters, that's for sure. The UFC owed him a fight for taking on Vincente Luque as a late replacement. This is a decent one for him. |
Anthony Hernandez | 8800 | Jun Yong Park | Moderate | -145 | +159? | We did not get the performance many expected from Hernandez in his UFC debut loss. That can happen in debut's. It will be interesting to see if he's more comfortable this time out. He hits hard and has BJJ. | |
Danaa Batgerel | 8500 | Heili Alateng | Moderate | +100 | +245? | This fight could feature some fireworks on a card that needs it. Danaa is a tough dude that shown an ability to eat shots at the lower level. That's a concern as he moves up in competition but may serve him well here. | |
Andre Soukhamthath | 8600 | Su Mudaerji | Moderate | -150 | +200 | Soukhamthath is a skilled martial artist that's a poor fighter, if that makes sense. He lacks fight IQ and make questionable in fight decisions. Nevertheless, he's a favorite for good reason. | |
Mizuki Inoue | 8300 | Yanan Wu | Somewhat-Risky | -135 | +395 | Inoue is better on the feet and the mat. She should have an easy time with Wu. A finish isn't guaranteed, which makes her prices a questionable value. | |
Lara Procopio | 8400 | Karol Rosa | Somewhat-Risky | +100 | +445 | If Procopio can get to work on a submission it will be trouble for Rosa, who's lost 2 of her last 5 via sub. Whether that pays as a DK play will depend on the grappling that gets her there. | |
Pay-Downs | Jingliang Li | 7000 | Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos | Moderate | +240 | +515 | Li is fighting on his home turf and good at getting to the judges. That's a scary combo in China. He's the better wrestler and could look to avoid the exchanges the dos Santos has scored so many KOs in. A win at $7K is big here. |
Jun Yong Park | 7400 | Anthony Hernandez | Moderate | +135 | +292 | Park is yet another well rounded Korean. He gets a little lazy in the grappling at times, which could cause him trouble here. Outside of that he's likely the better technician and an interesting dog with a shot at a decision. | |
Thiago Moises | 7200 | Damir Ismagulov | Somewhat-Risky | +170 | +470 | We have a tale of two fighters in Moises' UFC debut loss and follow up drubbing of Kurt Holobough. Is Ismagulov appreciably better than Holobough? I say no since he only looked average vs Joel Alvarez. Should Moises' arc continue upward he's a great dog play. | |
Heili Alateng | 7700 | Danaa Batgerel | Somewhat-Risky | -110 | +183 | Alateng should get the chance to test Danaa's chin. He has some power so that makes him an interesting DK play, for sure. | |
Karol Rosa | 7800 | Lara Procopio | Risky | -120 | +505 | Rosa is a tough fighter and teammate of Andrade. She tends to be involved in finishes both for and agaisnt, so this is a good fight to target. | |
Su Mudaerji | 7600 | Andre Soukhamthath | Risky | +140 | +475 | We've seen Soukhamthath make plenty of bad decisions in his career. Standing and trading with the dangerous Su could be the latest. |
