One of of Marley's UFC Fight Night picks: He is backing Jonathan Micallef (-218) to win via unanimous decision against Themba Gorimbo (+180) in a welterweight bout.
"Gorimbo is going to need to wrestle heavily in this matchup and win at least two rounds of top control time," Marley said. "Micallef is going to be the better striker, and he is also the more dangerous submission grappler. I'll take Micallef to avoid getting laid on, and he can get his hand raised by any method."
Marley also has strong picks for Della Maddalena vs. Prates and other bouts on the UFC Fight Night: Della Maddalena vs. Prates card. He's also backing "the more technical fighter," to emerge with a big victory! Be sure to see his UFC Fight Night picks before making any of your own.
