Betting Tip: All To Win: Rob Font, Andrei Arlovski, Andre Fili at 7.00
Rob Font vs. Marlon Vera
In the main event of the night, we see Now England Cartel product Rob Font take on Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera. Both men are extremely durable customers, neither with a KO loss on their records. However, Rob Font’s striking, especially his educated jab, will give him the advantage in the stand-up department.
Vera may have the advantage on the ground, but Font’s takedown defense will likely be enough to fend off any attempts by ‘Chito’ to bring the fight to the mat for any extended period of time.
We are going to take Rob Font by decision in this one, which can be found at 2.62 odds on Betway.
Andrei Arlovski vs. Jake Collier
This is a simple enough pick to make. Andrei Arlovski typically defeats most heavyweights who aren’t of a top 15 caliber level. Collier is a tricky fighter with some inventive striking, especially for the division. However, expect Arlovski to neutralize the output of the former middleweight, in typical ‘Pitbull’ fashion.
We will once again go for a decision prop, with Arlovski by point available at a line of 2.30.
Andre Fili vs. Joanderson Brito
This seems like a bizarre matchup for the UFC to have made in all honesty. Fili is a 17-fight UFC veteran who is just entering his prime at the age of 31. Brito is 0-1 in the UFC, having lost a close decision to Bill Algeo at the start of the year.
Fili is an excellent competitor who has been in the octagon with the likes of Max Holloway, Yair Rodriguez, and Bryce Mitchell. He is the obvious pick, and yet again, we will predict the fight to go the distance, in Fili’s favor. He can be found at 2.50 odds on Betway.
