Pick principal: Curtis Blaydes beats Waldo Cortes Acosta (dog).
Trust: 2.5/5.
Explanation: Cortes-Acosta deserves to be favorite for their boxing, rhythm and competitive timing, but to 2.65 I see enough room to bet on the most differential combat tool: the wrestling of Blaydes. The veteran's problem is that his down-stripping efficiency has gone down and he doesn't have the same speed to close distance anymore, plus he Waldo It punishes very well in a straight line Blaydes He gets to turn the fight into clinch, downing chains and control against the cage can greatly reduce the volume of the Dominican. It is a value dog, not a pick high confidence.
Suggestions: Blaydes ML with stake small: Blaydes by decision.
Quota cut ML: He's got interest since 2.50; below 2.20 I'd rather come in.
