Nikita Krylov vs Magomed Ankalaev -350
This should be a very competitive fight leading into the main event. More competitive than the line tells you anyways. Magomed is probably priced a little to high this fight and I think that it is a tricky one. He probably still wins but not sure if it will be inside the distance. Nikita is a very accomplished fighter. Has he had some losses? Yes, but mainly by submission. He has only been knocked out once in his whole career. Stat-wise, Nikita is the better technical fighter but I have seen Magomed and he looks good. He has 4.5 significant strikes to 3.5 for Magomed, he has 15 wins by submission to Magomed’s 0. Nikita is going to put up a fight and try to get Magomed to the ground. I think that the best play in this fight is that it goes to decision at +160.
Goes to decision +160 – 2 stars
Cyril Gane vs Jairzinho Rosenstruik +225
- This fight is all about the hype here.
- I like Cyril Gane plenty but he hasn’t really beaten anybody but Junior Dos Antos while Jairzinho beat him as well.
- Cyril Gane looks the part, he is quick and can take an opponent down, but Jairzinho is a real fighter and he is certainly a top 4 heavyweight.
- What some people may not know is that Junior Dos Antos and Jairzinho both fight for the same Gym at American Top Team and they are going to want this fight after one of their guys lost.
- The price on this fight is wrong and sometimes we have to take the dog even though the odds say he loses. If I was making this price, it would be Cyril Gane -120 to +100
Taking Jairzinho +225 for 2 stars
