This week at UFC 319: Du Plessis vs. Chimaev, Marley is backing Dione Barbosa (+170) in her women's flyweight bout against Karine Silva (-205). "Barbosa is taking this fight on short notice, and it is a tougher fight than Silva's original matchup," Marley said. "These two fought in 2019 and Barbosa won by UD. They are both dangerous grapplers and I see the striking being close. I could see this coming down to a split-decision and I always prefer the + money ticket in that case."
Marley also has strong picks for Du Plessis vs. Chimaev and other bouts on the UFC 319 card. He's also backing an underdog who is a "better, faster, more dangerous, and higher-paced striker." You MUST see his UFC 319 picks before making any of your own.
