Frankie Saenz vs. Aljamain Sterling====================================Frankie is past his prime and ALJO isn&#x27;t even close to his yet. This is the parlay partner you&#x27;re looking for. ALJO is better pretty much everywhere other then strength. ALJO will finish Saenz sometime before the 3rd begins.Sterling -500&gt;

Ferrari29 · Answer

Totally agree Whip, Sterling is getting better every minute and his corner is top notch!!!

whipton · Answer

Marcus Brimage vs. Jumabieke Tuerxun==============================marcus has the better footwork and is the better striker. i expect brimage to dominate a 3 round decision. the only way tex&#x27;s wins is via wrasslin&#x27;. i doubt think that will be happening.brimage -250&gt;&gt;

JimGunn · Answer

Looks like Saenz is out of his fight with Sterling unfortunately.

OnTheO · Answer

Hey Whip, where&#x27;d you get Brimage at -250? Opener? Local? I&#x27;m seeing him at -400 to -450. Not accusing, just wondering. BOL

whipton · Answer

that was my guess on the opening odds. no such odds out the like that. i was way off.

JimGunn · Answer

Yeah, that was wishful thinking on those odds. I have a bet on Brimage at -380. It was originally part of a parlay with Sterling but now since that fight is cancelled it's just a straight bet for a small return on Brimage.

Daniel Kelly vs. Luke Zachridge

==========================

Dk is old and luke still has a little fight in him. the only way Dk wins is if he takes LZ down and LnP's for the decision win. i think luke will overwehlm Dk and will probably finish him early.

whipton · Answer

Louis Smolka Vs Richie Vaculik==========================PLEASE let me know where richie has the edge.

OnTheO · Answer

Gotcha. Makes sense. Daniel Kelly has some of the most rigid, choppy and stiff kickboxing I&#x27;ve seen on TV mma (I&#x27;ve seen a handful of local amateurs with worse). But Dana and co are just itching for an Aussie star.

Ferrari29 · Answer

You was hoping, begging, pleading for minus 250 Whip. No such luck, lol. You&#x27;ll be alright though.

OnTheO · Answer

Man, this is a tough card. I usually look for solid dogs first and go from there. I don't see one dog I'd feel very comfortable with. I'd say Whittaker +165 over Clint Hester has a slight chance, but I really like Hester's growth in the last 3-4 fights. Al Iaquinta over Pearson at +160 looks okay I guess, but this is easily Iaquinta's stiffest striking battle to date. Walt Harris +145 over Soa maybe, but I feel like Soa is just more polished everywhere.

What do you guys think? Do any of you see a dog on FN 55 you're considering?

JimGunn · Answer

For dogs I am considering Iaquinta at &#x2B;160, Perosh at &#x2B;160 and maybe Alvey at &#x2B;145 and Clements at &#x2B;130.

Vik Grujic Vs. Chris Clements

=======================

grappler vs striker. If chris can keep this fight standing his chances on winning significantly increase. vik wants to get this to the ground and use his jits to win. weather thats LnP'ing, advancing position, maybe even tapping clements. I just think that's not likely to happen.

I'll take chris clement via Dec/TKO/KO

Chris Clements +125 (1 Unit for 1.3 Units)

whipton · Answer

Dylan Andrews vs Sam Alvey========================Andrews is the better technical and power striker with a good take down game. Sammy is dropping down in weight in hopes of advancing his career. He&#x27;s a striker and he&#x27;s a .....striker.  I don&#x27;t think this fight gets out of the first.Dylan Andrews KO Round 1

whipton · Answer

Anthony Perosh Vs Guto Incente

=========================

Anthony is 42 and can't strike. Guto has good striking but has no TDD and a suspect cardio.

Being 42 instantly makes you fade material but his high level jitz and the fact he's facing someone that he may be able to take down creates intrigue on the possible outcome.

Guto is fighting at more of his natural weight class. He's a striker that trains with the blackzillians. scary stuff. i would guess he has been working his behind off this training camp on his defensive wrestling. if guto can keep this fight standing. he wins.

i like the under 1.5 rounds

most likely guto via KO round 1. slight chance of guto dec.

perosh via sub prop line is worth a sprikle. should be at +200>>>

whipton · Answer

Jake Matthews Vs. Vagner Rocha===========================jake&#x27;s a decent prospect with good striking and solid jitz. vagner has high level jits. i don&#x27;t think jake is foolish enough to take the fight to the ground where he could possibly be exposed. look for him to out strike rocha on his feet while avoiding td&#x27;s.matthews via KO round 1 flier on rocha via sub &#x2B;600&gt;&gt; is not a bad idea
