Johnny Walker vs Mingyang Zhang I don’t think Walker’s skills have regressed yet, but Walker has been knocked out two fights in a row and it’s hard to trust his chin. Chris’ Pick: Zhang by 1st round knockout. What odds I think the favorite should be at: Zhang -125...
Manuel Exposito vs Jose Delano I watched Exposito’s loss to Tommy Garcia and I was underwhelmed with what I saw from Exposito. He’s got a good record, trains at the Entram gym. And Garcia is not great himself. Gabriel Santos’ last fight before getting signed by the UFC was...
