Phillips/Letourneau OVER 2.5 (-255) with Jimmo/St. Preux OVER 2.5 (-150)
Both Elizabeth Phillips and Valerie Latourneau are making their respective UFC debuts on Saturday night. Women's MMA bouts have a significantly higher percentage of going the distance (unless you're Ronda Rousey) and don't be surprised to see this fight go all three rounds either. Phillips is the bigger, stronger fighter, but she's still a work in progress and will likely use her strength and grappling edge to either keep this fight in the clinch or on the ground. We fully expect the bout to go over 2.5 rounds.
Ryan Jimmo and Ovince St. Preux are both talented light heavyweights, but Jimmo has a storied history of going the distance in his bouts. Jimmo has shown increased knockout ability lately, but that was against significantly overmatched competition and St. Preux is a much more competitive bout for him. St. Preux should hold a wrestling edge and likes to work for submissions on the ground, but Jimmo should be savvy enough to avoid getting tapped out. There's a good chance this fight becomes a more drawn out affair so we like the over 2.5 rounds here as well for a decent plus-money parlay
