This week at UFC Shanghai: Zhang vs. Walker, Marley is backing Charles Johnson (+170) in his flyweight bout against Lone'er Kavanagh (-205). "Kavanagh is a solid prospect with good striking and KO power," Marley said. "He also showed off some wrestling in his last fight. However, he isn't a high-volume striker, and Johnson has never been knocked out. Johnson can strike at high volume, but I'd like to see him put it together for a full 15 minutes. I think this is dog or pass at this line, so I'm going to take Johnson by split in a fun fight."

Marley also has strong picks for Zhang vs. Walker and other bouts on the UFC Shanghai card. He's also backing an underdog who has "better hands and more power." You MUST see his UFC Shanghai picks before making any of your own.
