Weekend Fights Preview

UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs Rozenstruik

On Saturday, the UFC heads back to the empty apex for another fight night. This is one last fight night we have to get through before we have a PPV next week. After the bye week last week, we are set to have 12 straight weeks of UFC fights. In this one we have two massive heavyweights, Volkov and Rozenstruik, face off in the main event. The winner probably won't get a title shot next but won't be far off.

The best thing about this card? 1 o'clock start time!! All fight night cards should be during the day time. There's a reason football has so much success with 1 and 4 o'clock kick offs.

A couple other names on the card to tune in for:

• Alonzo Menifield kicks off the main card at 4, and he is generally always going for the knock out. I mean have you seen this guy?

• Dan Ige looks to bounce back from two straight loses in the co main event against undefeated Movsar Evloev

Lock of the Week

Parlay (+238): Erin Blanchfield (-490) WITH Damon Jackson (-575) WITH Menifield vs Mozharov under 2.5 rounds (-550) WITH Herrig vs Kowalkiewicz fight to go the distance (-285) WITH Fakhretdinov vs Michailidis fight to not go the distance (-200)

I was looking for another 2 leg parlay to put together since we have been successful with that three weeks in a row now. BUT, these lines are too juiced to get any value from just two picks. so we have a full 5 leg parlay, we're going to call it the Kangaroo parlay - that's right, kangaroos have 5 legs, google it. Admittedly, In the UFC it's rare you aren't going to have a fluke in atleast 1 of 5 fights, so if you'd rather put up some more money, maybe take 2 or 3 of these 5 and ride them instead. 

Some stats behind the reasoning for these picks:

• 9 of Kowalkiewicz's 12 wins are by decision, 9 of Herrig's 14 wins are by decision... and they already fought and guess what? Kowalkiewicz won by decision

• Mozharov has only 2 fights in his 32 fight professional resume that have not gone the distance, 29 of them ended in the first round. Oh yeah did I mention what Menifield looks like? This isn't going the distance.

• Damon Jackson is 9-2 in his last 11 and in those 2 loses his opponents combined record is 30-0-1.

• Michailidis has 16 of his 18 fights end by finish, Fakhretdinov has 18 of his 22 fights end by finish. They have a combined 22 first round finish's.

• Blanchfield is a great young prospect with her only loss coming by controversial split dec
