This week at UFC Fight Night: Burns vs. Morales, Marley is backing Tainara Lisboa (+145) in a women's bantamweight bout versus Luana Santos (-175) in an early preliminary matchup. "Santos should be the better grappler here, but I don't know that it's enough to deserve this line," Marley said. "Lisboa is the better striker, and she has a wrestling/grappling game herself. I think she can dictate where the fight takes place and if so, I like her to win two rounds."
Marley also has strong picks for Burns vs. Morales and other bouts on the UFC Fight Night card. He's also backing an underdog "high-volume striker and he is a dangerous grappler." You MUST see his UFC picks before making any of your own.
