This week at UFC Fight Night: de Ridder vs. Allen, Marley is backing Drew Dober (-520) in his lightweight bout against Kyle Prepolec (+390). "Prepolic is getting a fight here because the fight is in Canada, and he is Canadian. Dober's chin is on the decline, and maybe Prepolec can knock him out here. I just think Dober is levels ahead of him skill-wise anywhere this fight takes place, and he is the harder hitter as well. Give me Dober by KO or decision."
Marley also has strong picks for de Ridder vs. Allen and other bouts on the UFC Fight Night card. He's also backing an underdog who is "the better wrestler and can stay safe in top control." You MUST see his UFC Fight Night picks before making any of your own.
