Cutelaba: -205
Splits: 63% of handle, 43% of bets on Cutelaba
Cutelaba (16-7-1) is in a major slump, going 2-4-1 in his past seven fights. He will be at a significant height disadvantage against the 6-foot-5 Walker, but Cutelaba has the best counter for that with his wrestling. Walker (18-7) can be taken down and controlled on the ground. Plus there are questions about how will respond after an ugly knockout loss to Jamahal Hill earlier this year.
