One of of Marley's UFC Fight Night: Cortes-Acosta vs. Walker picks: He is backing underdog Johnny Parsons (+185) to beat Jose Henrique Souza (-225) to win by TKO.
"This should be a fun striking match," Marley said. "Parsons is an aggressive brawler and he has heavy hands. We haven't seen him in over three years because of different injuries though. Souza is 10 years younger, taller, longer, and the more technical striker. I'd rather just take a shot on the under since I think both guys can get a knockout, but I don't feel good about picking either side, so I'll lean with the dog by KO."
Marley also has strong picks for Cortes-Acosta vs. Walker and other bouts on the UFC Fight Night: Cortes-Acosta vs. Walker card. He's also backing an underdog who is a "an aggressive wrestler/grappler" to emerge with a big victory!
