It is a phenomenal matchup between two of one of the best boxers at bantamweight, however each males even have underrated floor video games, so don’t be shocked if sooner or later one among them shoots on the opposite one.
Nonetheless, I do anticipate this to be extra of a kickboxing combat and I feel Font within the first spherical or two will attempt, and simply stick his jab out and never like Garbrandt get inside. As soon as that occurs, we’ve got seen the previous champ get annoyed and rush into one thing and get right into a brawl which will get him knocked out. Font has legit energy, and I feel within the third spherical will catch Garbrandt and get the KO win.
Decide: Rob Font (-121)

Though Esparza is on a four-fight profitable streak, her final three fights have all been shut and will’ve gone both approach. In opposition to Yan, in the meantime, the combat actually comes all the way down to how good is her takedown protection.
In the end, I anticipate Yan to have the ability to maintain the combat standing and be capable to use her jab and kicks to piece up Esparza and win a clear-cut choice. Yan looks as if the true deal and this will probably be her popping out occasion to quite a lot of UFC followers.
Decide: Xiaonan Yan (-134)
