UFC Fight Night: Song vs. Figueiredo predictions
One of of Marley's UFC Fight Night: Song vs. Figueiredo picks: He is backing Jaqueline Amorim (-115) to win via decision against Loma Lookboonmee (-105) in a women's strawweight bout on the main card.
"Amorim should be the better and more dangerous grappler in this one, but she has to get the fight to the ground, and she is more likely to slow down," Marley told SportsLine. "Lookboonmee is the more well-rounded fighter, but she needs to keep this fight on the feet. I am more impressed with Amorim in general, so I'll pick her to get an early sub and hope she doesn't gas out if it doesn't happen." See who else to back here.
