"Viana is dangerous with subs, so I wouldn't want to lay these odds on Amorim, but I do think she is the better wrestler and harder to finish," Marley said. "I'll take her to get the sub in the second or third."
Marley also has strong picks for Machado Garry vs. Prates and other bouts on the UFC Fight Night card. He's also backing an underdog who "can mix in wrestling/grappling and maybe that can win him another round." You MUST see his UFC picks before making any of your own.
