Betting Tips For UFC Fight Night 38 – Parke vs Santos Allsopp Uncategorized March 17, 2014 [adrotate group=”25″]Norman Parke holds an impressive MMA record of 19 wins and 2 losses. He is currently riding a 9 fight winning streak and hasn’t lost a fight since 2010. Norman Parke looks better every time he fights in the UFC and part of this improvement is due to his switch to the Alliance MMA fight camp. This change now means that he trains with elite fighters such as Dominick Cruz, Myles Jury and Ross Pearson. Parke’s evolution as a fighter is also down to his Fight IQ, as he is an extremely intelligent fighter. Parke is the personification of the modern day Mixed Martial Artist. He’s good at everything, but great at nothing and it is this well roundedness that allows him to take his opponents out of their comfort zone and make them fight his fight. Leonardo Santos is a great grappler with really good Jiu Jitsu and decent submission skills, but he doesn’t have particularly great takedowns. This is going to be a problem for Santos as Parke has excellent takedown defence and he’s an extremely strong grappler. Even if Santos was able to take this fight to the ground, Parke is more than capable of avoiding the submissions and he certainly has enough explosiveness to get back to his feet. Santos will find it extremely difficult getting this fight to the ground and keeping it there. For that reason Norman Parke has a big advantage in this fight, because he is a much better striker than Leonardo Santos. Parke lacks knock out power but he makes up for this by fighting at an extremely high pace. This high pace combined with his technical striking helps him to land more strikes per minute than almost anyone else in the UFC’s Featherweight division. I don’t believe that Leonardo Santos is capable of derailing Parke’s career. I never like betting against Brazilian fighters when they fight in Brazil, but Norman Parke is an exciting, up and coming prospect who has all the tools necessary to win this fight. Leonardo Santos won’t be able to get this fight to the ground and keep it there. I expect Norman Parke to push the pace of this fight with high volume striking, before eventually grinding out a unanimous decision victory.
