Carlos Vera (ECU) by Knee-bar (+5000)

As usual, the public loves the longshot props. I have no indication Zaleski dos Santos or Dolidze will win by submission. The main event seems destined to go the distance (-200), so that's the only prop I'm playing there. As for the co-main between Zaleski dos Santos and Chidi Njokuani, I think that fight features tons of damage, but ultimately a three-round decision.
On the other bets, I'd never bet a fight by specific decision, never mind a kneebar. Spann by decision is a fun hail mary, as his opponent Waldo Cortes-Acosta often takes things the distance.
