Our Picks:
Aliskerov via TKO. @13/5
Better get his moneyline at a + money now. After this fight we won’t ever get him at these odds again.
Johnny Walker vs Volkan Oezdemir ML @4/5
Opening the main card we have a great matchup that will surely be entertaining for as long as it lasts.
These light heavyweights hold similiar records with Johnny being the younger man by 2 years and the taller man by 4 inches.
They are also both proven finishers with the vast majority of their wins coming via stoppage.
We think Walker is a glass cannon and extremely dangerous in round 1 and no doubt has the ability to win if he can land something big.
However Volkan has a decent chin and has only been knocked out twice in his career.
Volkov ML @2/1
Pav probably finds the early finish but if that doesn’t happen we think Volkov’s live. He could mix in a little grappling. Always a little weird when good friends and sparring partners fight so were treading lightly here.
Gastelum ML @1/2
Both are similar fighters but were favouring Gastelum, His slightly more experienced and we just like him more…
Magomedov in round 1 @10/11
Just so one sided can’t see it going any other way.
