Blair fought on the Contender before against Kody Steele and it was a close fight until Blair got hit with a liver shot and crumpled up. But importantly, I still believe that Steele is over rated as Rongzhu out struck him 125 to 58. Wipeout. Thus, Blair’s tools are 55’s for me.

Chris’ Pick: Sanches by decision.

What odds I think the favorite should be at: Sanches -175
