Vettori is only a small favorite in this fight, but looks to be the right side. He has the better striking and has the superior grappling. For that reason, backing Vettori to win will be our play.
Armen Petrosyan vs Christian Leroy Duncan – Fight to go the Distance – No (-135)
Christian Leroy Duncan is a moderate-sized favorite in this fight; however, Armen Petrosyan has shown plenty of ability to be able to pull the upset. In fact, Petrosyan has seen 7 of his 10 career fights end inside the distance, while Duncan has seen 7 of his 8 fights do the same. For that reason, backing this fight to also end inside the distance will be our play.
