Breakdown

Ronaldo Souza vs. Tim Boetsch

Souza versus Boetsch is a ridiculous mismatch, but for the Barbarian it's kinda nothing to lose. All respect to Boetsch but Jacare is in another league. This is the kind of match up that looks completely 1-sided on paper, but the reality is anyone can get knocked out in that octagon. Boetsch is a savvy vet and throws heavy hands. He’s got a fighters chance to win this. Early upset of the year candidate? I don't think so. Jacare is clearly one of the Top 10 pound for pound fighters in the world. Even at -500, he is still very much worth putting into a parlay. And Jacare inside the distance is also worth consideration. 

Nik Lentz vs. Islam Makhachev

I think Nik Lentz is going to be outmatched in this fight against the 25-year-old Islam Makhachev. I believe Makhachev hold an advantage on the feet and on the ground, so I see him finishing this fight by either TKO/KO or submission.

Wilson Reis vs Ulka Sasaki

For this card I took Jacare to win inside the distance and Reis to win straight up at -176 odds for a 2 man parlay (bet $176 to win $100) Jacare is a beast skill wise and Boetsch just isn't on his level. Jacare can win any way he wants really but most likely it will be by submission so betting Jacare by submission is a great bet as well. Like Jacare, Reis is fighting a guy he is just better than. Reis vs Sasaki is grappler vs grappler but Reis is the better grappler and wrestler who is more powerful than Sasaki. Both guys will win handily so get them in your parlays and what not.

We also parlay Islam Makhachev with Ronaldo Souza to show how confident we are.
