Roque Martinez

Angelo picks Josh Parisian, citing his height and reach advantage, high volume, and improved conditioning.

He bet on the fight going to a decision at +145 and likes the over on strikes for both.

Big Brady likes Parisian's volume and significant reach/height advantages, but is concerned about his cardio after gassing against Parker Porter. He thinks Parisian will land more shots and win a decision because Martinez is very durable and hard to finish.

Cody picks Parisian by decision, noting Parisian's reach and volume advantage. He believes Martinez is durable but will be outpointed. Cody suggests the over 2.5 rounds or fight goes the distance as better plays, as both fighters lack finishing ability.

Daniel Levi picks Josh Parisian, noting that he is the bigger, more physical fighter with more skills. He thinks Parisian will take Martinez down and work on top.

He believes Martinez is tough but lacks the skills to win at this level, and that Parisian will get his first UFC win.

Big Brady picks Mayes due to significant height and reach advantages, and higher output. He expects a boring, low-output heavyweight fight and does not see a finish. He thinks the line is too wide and is not betting, but suggests the over 1.5 rounds has value.

Daniel picks Mayes by default, noting that Martinez is out of shape and should not be fighting. He acknowledges Mayes has had embarrassing losses but thinks his size and athleticism will prevail against an overweight opponent. He says if Martinez were in shape, he would pick him, but as it stands, Mayes should win.

Big Brady picks Alexandr Romanov, stating he is a finisher who will take Martinez down and end the fight shortly after. He notes Romanov has 100% finish rate and is exciting to watch. He expects the fight to end in the first round and will look at the under 1.5 rounds if it's plus money.
