Duncan vs Morales Prediction
Despite the even odds, one fighter has struggled to win more than the other lately. Omar Morales has been the loser in three of his last four fights while being finished in each of his last two outings (once by TKO, once by submission).
Meanwhile, Chris Duncan has won back-to-back outings, most recently picking up a KO victory over Charlie Campbell on the . Having said that, this fight also serves as Duncan's UFC PPV debut, so it remains to be seen what he can do when the spotlight is at its brightest.
It's just hard to like Morales when he was TKO'd by Uros Medic in his return to the lightweight division. Duncan is hungry to make the most of the biggest opportunity of his career thus far. He'll have the advantage as long as he stays on his feet, which won't be an issue against an opponent who's spent a lot of time with his back on the mat.
Duncan vs Morales Best Bet
Even though the odds favor a KO/TKO victory for Duncan, I'm sticking with the moneyline. There's still some decent value to be had in a pick 'em situation (-110 odds) without needing to commit to a specific victory method. With Duncan being the hotter fighter at the moment, it's a bargain to go with the ML.
