In the primary occasion, previous bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz (24-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) takes on Marlon Vera (21-7-1 MMA, 13-6 UFC). Vera is a substantial -250 preferred at Tipico Sportsbook; the return on Cruz is +190. But it’s not a blowout with our 11 editors, authors, radio hosts and videographers, who are siding with Vera at a 7-4 clip.
In the co-main occasion, Nate Landwehr (15-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC) fulfills David Onama (10-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) at featherweight. Onama is the greatest preferred on the primary card at -320, and he’s a near-unanimous choice from our personnel members at 10-1.
The just consentaneous choice on the primary card is Yazmin Jauregui (8-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) in her marketing launching versus fellow debtante Iasmin Lucindo (13-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC). Jauregui is more than a 2-1 preferred in the ladies’s strawweight bout and has an 11-0 nothing in the choices.
