UFC Vegas 55
Holm
VS
Vieira

Chase Hooper VS Felipe Colares

**Chase Hooper Via Sub - Stake 0.5 Units, Minimum Odds 5.0, Best Book - Lads/Neds**

We have another fight here that we are getting a very high line on one of Hooper's only paths to victory. Hooper is very young and was highly touted when he came into the UFC, but has shown he still needs to work on his MMA game, especially his striking. Hooper has taken the past year off and I believe we should see improvements in his striking game, but the key to victory for Hooper will always be through his grappling. Hooper is a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner who will be looking to throw multiple sub attempts up throughout the fight. Colares is moving back up from bantamweight against the tall Hooper who will have a massive height and reach advantage. Most people are down on Hooper after losing a few fights he has been expected to win, but this feels like a lay up fight in a buy-low spot. A small play at value odds.

Jonathan Martinez VS Vince Morales

Jonathan Martinez Via Decision - Stake 2 Units, Minimum Odds 1.9, Best Book - Pointsbet

The Martinez decision prop is a spot I've been looking at all week, but I had to wait to see him on the scales first. The great news is Martinez looked terrific on the scales and will be able to work over Morales through all three rounds. Martinez is not typically a finisher with his last three wins all coming by decision. Morales got a KO to win in his last fight, but he usually doesn't hold a lot of power to finish fights and will be outmatched in all areas of the fight.

Omar Morales VS Uros Medic

**Uros Medic Via 1st RD KO/TKO - Stake 0.5 Units, Minimum Odds 6.0, Best Book - Pointsbet**

This is a value bet at high odds on a fighter that is an absolute glass cannon. Now I don't have a particularly high grade on Medic, but he is always going to be a fighter who is live to get an early KO. Medic has 8 pro fights with 7 of them ending in the first round. Medic comes out fast and throws strikes at a high pace, to the point that if he doesn't get the job done early he will likely be finished himself. Morales is a fighter who is generally durable, only being finished once in his career, but he is moving up a weight class for this fight. I'm not taking a huge play on this one, but we are getting value at the odds.

Joseph Holmes VS Alen Amedovski

**Joseph Holmes Via Sub - Stake 1 Unit, Minimum Odds 3.0, Best Book - Lads/Neds**

Joseph Holmes is a fighter who won't be long in the UFC, but he is being given a lay up fight hereafter helping the organisation out by taking a short notice fight in his debut. Holmes will have a full camp this time and will get a great matchup against Amedovski who is a fish out of the water on the mat. Holmes will want to get this fight to the mat as quick as he can and work Amedovski over until he gives up the sub. Amedovski last fought almost three years ago and with two UFC losses already, will likely be fighting in his final UFC fight.

Eryk Anders VS Jun Yong Park

Jun Yong Park Via Decision - Stake 2 Units, Minimum Odds 2.0, Best Book - Pointsbet

Jun Yong Park is a decision machine who is coming off a tough loss against Gregory Rodrigues where he was close to winning the fight before getting rocked himself. Park is very well rounded and scores well on the judge's score sheets. Four of Park's last five victories have all been by decision. Anders is a fighter who hovers between middleweight and light heavyweight, but in a middleweight fight like this one, he has only one win from his last 5. Anders is struggling in his older age to make the big cut to 185 pounds and once again looked poor on the scales today. Anders is a durable fighter, but will likely be rag dolled for 15 minutes here.

Chidi Njokuani VS Dusko Todorovic

**Chidi Njokuani Via KO/TKO - Stake 2 Units, Minimum Odds 2.0, Best Book - Topsport**

Chidi Chidi Bang Bang is a strong veteran of the MMA game who will be making his second UFC start. Chidi got a fast KO in his UFC debut and everyone is looking to follow him on the back of that win, however, the KO is pretty much the only way I can see him winning here. Todorovic is a fighter who was highly touted coming into the UFC, however, he has shown some very poor technique since he has been here. Todorovic has nice striking and can grapple when he needs to, however, his huge weakness is his lack of head movement. Todorovic keeps his head still with his chin high and his hands low just begging to be hit and a powerhouse like Chidi will take full advantage of this. Njokuani has had a KO in each of his last three fights and is fighting at a career-best level.

Holly Holm VS Ketlen Vieira

**Holly Holm Via Decision - Stake 1.5 Units, Minimum Odds 1.85, Best Book - Topsport**

Holly Holm may be 40 years old, but there's still a lot of tread on the tyres of the Preachers Daughter. Holm has been a decision machine during her entire career with only two head kick KO victories coming in her last 8 years in the UFC. Holm has a terrific fighting style where she uses her brilliant gas tank and high volume to her advantage which scores well with the judges. Holm's losses for her career have only come against the best of the best in the UFC and I don't see Viera on this trajectory. Viera will look to get this fight to the mat as she wont be able to stand with Holm, but Holm has an improving defensive grappling skillset that will treat her well here. Holm will get the victory here and then be right back in the title picture once again.
