Folks, Slick L here for another Saturday and another UFC fight night from the sin city.
Last weekend we took some bad beats as we celebrated Degenerate Al’s birthday at the del Lago. Personally, I had a great time, despite my bets not hitting. We’re ready to bounce back bigger than ever, so without further a due, all aboard the train!
Ashley Yoder vs. Miranda Granger:
Ahhhh, yes, the return of Danger Granger. I’m psyched about this one. Granger’s last fight was last year when she took her first loss. After some time off, I expect her to get right back on track to being the dominant finisher she was in the past. She’s going up against a sub-par fighter in Ashley Yoder, who’s lost her last two fights, putting her at 7-6. Lock this one in and don’t even think twice about it. Danger Granger all day.
Money line odds:
Ashley Yoder: +135
Miranda Granger: -167
PICK: Miranda Granger (-167) ML
Brendan Allen vs. Sean Strickland:
Here we have what I personally believe could easily be the co-main event. As you guys probably remember, Brendan Allen was scheduled to fight last week, but that was canceled.
Dana White swiftly puts Allen on this week’s card, and here comes Sean Strickland. Strickland himself is coming off a pretty quick fight turn around, as he fought two weeks ago for the first time in years. That fight was impressive as Strickland did not look like he missed a step and had a great pace throughout the fight.
However, Brendan Allen is not to be taken lightly. This guy is a scary, powerful, young talent. Allen has not lost a fight since 2018, and Strickland will be his biggest test yet. Ultimately, I think Allen gets this win via the judges’ scorecards.
Money line odds:
Brendan Allen: -118
Sean Strickland: -106
PICK: Brendan Allen (-118) ML
Paul Felder vs. Rafael Dos Anjos:
Our main event on the card features two very experienced UFC fighters. Folks, I’ve been hung on this one all damn week. Also, how about Paul Felder taking this fight on literally FIVE DAYS NOTICE! That is so badass. RDA is also fighting down a weight class from the one he usually fights in.
Both guys look in great shape, and I guess Felder has been training for a triathlon?! Anyways, I think no matter how great shape Felder is in, if this fight goes to the mat (which it will), RDA will have a field day. Felder has been training for a totally different sport and maybe doing a little sparing here and there, but it won’t be enough.
Money line odds:
Rafael dos Anjos: –200
Paul Felder: +165
PICK: Rafael dos Anjos (-200) ML
DOG PICK: Abdul Alhassan Razak vs. Khaos Williams
Money line odds:
Razak: –240
Williams: +187
PICK: Khaos Williams (+187) ML
Slick’s Parlay:
Don’Tale Mayes (-265) ML
Kanako Murata (+155) ML
Miranda Granger (-167) ML
