If interested in wagering on these plays, or any plays for this fight card, all betting lines will be made available at Several Bookmakerss. Here are my prop plays: Andy Uhrich (+660) vs Paul Daley (-840) Uhrich +3.5 (+350) 1u to win 3.5u I think there is value in Uhrich straight up at +660, but I won’t be making a straight play on him. I think Daley is being way over-valued at his current asking price of -840 and would not advise anyone to play him at those odds. He is not the fighter he used to be and I don’t think he should be an 8-to-1 betting favorite over most anybody. This play is more of a fade on Daley than a bet on Uhrich, as I don’t trust Daley. I won’t be surprised to see him score a knockout or win all three rounds, but I also won’t be at all surprised to see him win a very close decision, or even lose the fight. At +350, I’ll take a shot on Uhrich winning at least one round against the declining veteran “Semtex” in this 170-pound main event contest. Chris Honecutt (-305) vs Paul Bradley (+275) Bradley by Decision (+435) 1u to win 4.35u I favor Honeycutt to win this fight on the judges’ scorecards but the line for the prop on him to win by decision is -120, and I don’t see much value there. I think this could be a close fight when it hits the cards, and at +435, I think there’s some value to be had here with Bradley taking the nod. Patricky Freire (-210) vs Ryan Couture (+190) Couture by Decision (+320) 2u to win 6.4u I think Couture winning a decision is the most likely outcome to this lightweight contest, and at +320, I really love it for a play. I personally played it at +420 and it has since dropped. I see Couture making this an ugly fight, dictating the pace, and grinding the Brazilian out for three rounds en route to a unanimous decision victory on the judges’ scorecards.
