DENNIS BERMUDEZ vs RICARDO LAMAS
Dennis Bermudez is an MMA bettors dream because there’s not a single second in his fights where he isn’t trying to inflict damage or improve his position. This style of fighting is great for overwhelming his opponents and scoring points on the judges scorecards.
Bermudez is a really bad match up for Ricardo Lamas, because he’s more active and he’s better at all the things that Lamas does well. Lamas is your typical type of grinding fighter who likes to control his opponents against the cage or on the ground. The only problem with using this style of fighting is that he doesn’t have the best take downs and he’s not the best in the clinch. Bermudez is a better grappler and he should be able to use his raw power and strength to get the better of the grappling exchanges. He also has really good take down defence and he does a really good job of securing and maintaining dominant positions.
Ricardo Lamas is probably a better technical striker than Bermudez, but what Bermudez lacks in technique, he makes up for with aggression and volume. Bermudez likes to push the pace, fight in a phone booth and he doesn’t give his opponents a second to breathe. Bermudez relentlessly throws strikes from a standing, clinch or grounded position and Lamas is going to find it really difficult to deal with this relentless pace. Lamas does have a 5 inch reach advantage over Bermudez, but he’s not the kind of rangey fighter that’s going to be able to keep Bermudez on the outside.
I don’t see how Ricardo Lamas can win this fight because he’s not going to be able to out grapple Bermudez and he’s not going to be able to out strike him. This is a great match up for Bermudez and I expect him to win this fight and take a big step towards the top 5 Featherweight rankings.

JESSICA EYE vs LESLIE SMITH
Picking a winner in this fight is extremely difficult because Explosives, Guns and Knives are against the rules. What I’m trying to say, is that you have to practically kill one of these girls to stop them inside the distance. I have no idea who’s going to win this fight, because despite the odds, I actually believe it will be very close. I am however very confident that this fight will last longer than 2.5 rounds.
5 out of Leslie Smith’s last 6 fights have all gone to a decision and 8 out of Jessica Eye’s last 9 fights have also gone to a decision. These girls are tough as nails, they’re hard to finish and they both lack finishing power. Money doesn’t grow on trees, but betting on this fight to last longer than 2.5 rounds is as close to free money as you’re going to get…
OUR BETTING TIP: 10.00 Units [5% of your bankroll] on this fight to go over 2.5 rounds at odds of 1.42 | -238 | 21/50
