Ray Borg (-480) Michael Johnson (-155) - (-101)
Breakdown
Ray Borg vs Gene Herrera
Borg has fought better level competition and has big show experience compared to Herrera. Borgs wrestling will give him the consistent edge in positional dominance and I see him eventually landing a slick submission.
Michael Johnson vs Beneil Dariush
The striking power and quickness of Johnson can cause trouble for Dariush if not probably get a finish. I feel Johnson is too much, too soon for Dariush and will out strike Dariush to win a unanimous decision.
Stake: 3%

Beneil Dariush defeats Michael Johnson via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)
This fight was a controversial split decision loss to Beneil Dariush. The media and fan scores the fight in favor to Johnson winning easily. Without Johnson's robbery we would have profit $4,575.25 tonight.

Ovince St. Preux (+105)
Breakdown
Glover Teixeira vs Ovince St Preux
It's hard to see a better Teixeira at this point. OSP is big, fast, and powerful and it seems his game is starting to come together at this point. I'll bank on the more dynamic fighter who is OSP to win via decision.
