He takes on Chris Cariaso<\/strong> who rides a three fight winning streak into the bout.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Johnson has an incredible mix of speed, power and smarts \u2013 he puts it together perhaps better than anyone in the organization \u2013 nobody seems on his level in the right now. Enter Chris Cariaso who, at 33 years old is an OK \u2013 not great fighter.<\/p>\n Simply put it is going to take a great fighter on his best night to defeat Demetrious Johnson. While I hate the -1250, there is only one logical choice.<\/p>\n MMA Betting Pick<\/strong>: Demetrious Johnson -1250<\/p>\n Donald Cerrone (24-6-0): -110<\/strong> This bout has Fight of the Night written all over it \u2013 Bellator star Eddie Alvarez makes his UFC debut against a man that ducks nobody \u2013 Donald Cerrone. Cerrone brings a good kickboxing background to go along with 15 submission wins \u2013 he\u2019s as tough as they come in the 155-pound division.<\/p>\n Alvarez comes in with some hype and rightfully so. He is a top 10 fighter in the UFC right away and may be just a fight or two away from a title shot. Bellator\u2019s former champ brings a world class all around game \u2013 tremendous striking and wrestling, but has his hands full against Cerrone.<\/p>\n Cerrone is a machine \u2013 he never quits. Riding a four fight win streak, I like Cerrone to outwork Alvarez who has fought just once since 2012.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=1436&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Donald is on a four fight win streak against some good fighters and enters Saturday night\u2019s fight on fire.<\/p>\n MMA Betting Pick<\/strong>: Donald Cerrone -110<\/p>\n Dustin Poirier (16-3-0): +225<\/strong> A war of words finally comes to a head when Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor meet in the Octagon Saturday. These featherweights bring it each and every time out \u2013 fireworks should ensue. McGregor is coming off a TKO over Diego Brandao last time out while Poirier is coming off a TKO win against Akira Corassani.<\/p>\n Some think McGregor is a bit more hype than substance right now \u2013 me being one of them. Poirier is one tough dude. In a battle of the \u201cB-level\u201d fighters, I like the underdog to prevail.<\/p>\n MMA Betting Pick<\/strong>: Dustin Poirier +225<\/p>\n Tim Kennedy (18-4-0): +122<\/strong> Middleweights Tim Kennedy and Yoel Romeo meet in what is almost sure to be a wrestling contest \u2013 Romero is an Olympic silver medalist \u2013 as impressive a specimen as there is in MMA. Kennedy has the immense experience advantage and could minimize what Romero is certain to do \u2013 try to take this fight to the ground.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not sure Kennedy has enough of a wrestling game to keep Romero from dictating what happens in this one. To me \u2013 Romero looks like a threat in the Middleweight Division even though he is 37 years old.<\/p>\n MMA Betting Pick<\/strong>: Yoel Romero -142<\/p>\n Cat Zingano (8-0-0): -265<\/strong> It\u2019s hard to imagine where Cat Zingano\u2019s head is at \u2013 off an ACL tear and dealing with the recent suicide of her husband. It wasn\u2019t that long ago that Zingano was the #1 contender to Rhonda Rousey\u2019s title \u2013 she is a fighter. Amanda Nunes is no slouch either \u2013 her aggressiveness is unquestioned, her Muay Thai is impressive and her strikes are no joke<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Both ladies will let the fists fly but I like Zingano to shake off the rust and win this one on emotion alone. She was the #1 contender for a reason \u2013 nobody\u2019s beaten her yet and I can\u2019t see it happening Saturday.<\/p>\n MMA Betting Pick:<\/strong> Cat Zingano -265<\/p>\n Dominick Cruz (19-1-0): -390 vs. Takeya Mizugaki (20-7-2): +325 Jorge Masvidal (27-8-0): -355 vs. James Krause (21-5-0): +290 Patrick Cote (20-8-0): +280 vs. Stephen Thompson (9-1-0): -340 John Howard (22-9-0): -190 vs. Brian Ebersole (50-16-1): +165\n
