How To Bet Song vs Gutierrez
Song and Gutierrez are similar fighters in size, reach, and record, but their methods for getting things done are quite different. This is great matchmaking by the UFC.
Song is more explosive but more vulnerable on counterstrikes, while Gutierrez is quicker and pumps more volume at his foes. I envision this fight necessitating a feeling-out process that takes a few rounds.
It'll be worth watching the Kung Fu Monkey's gas tank as this bout moves along, but if he can establish himself early, his heavy hands should propel him to a second straight win.
Song vs Gutierrez Betting Pick
For this bout, I'll be taking Song to win and the bout to go over 3.5 rounds (TBD). Song is a great addition to a parlay for this card, but he's not valuable as a standalone bet.
