Gunnar Nelson (-350) Mairbek Taisumov (-160) - (+109)
Breakdown
Gunnar Nelson vs Rick Story
Gunnar is the better fighter and has a very strong clinch, take downs, and jiu jitsu. Story has shown weakness vs clinch take downs and giving up position when he is on the mat. That is 2 strong suits of Gunnar so I think he takes this fight by submission and beats Story.
Mairbek Taisumov vs Marcin Bandel
I think Taisumov will be able to keep this fight standing where he has a huge edge in striking. Taisumov was taken down repeatedly in his last fight so I am sure he went back to the drawing board and worked a lot on take down defense. Taisumov will pick his opponent apart on the feet and win a decision.
Stake: 3%
