Danny Roberts-Jonny Parsons Pick, Prediction and Odds
Danny Roberts-Jonny Parsons Odds
Danny Roberts: -105 | Jonny Parsons: -115
Now making his UFC debut, Parsons comes from a striking background. While he only has one appearance registering statistics, Parsons landed 53 strikes against Renfro but allowed 78 strikes. Parsons also allowed two takedowns, putting his takedown defense at 50%. His layoff and lack of experience will be interesting against a veteran like Roberts. Not to mention, Parsons has been knocked out twice already in his career.
Roberts also comes from a striking background. He averages 3.08 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 3.50. However, he has fought the more difficult competition to this point in his career. Of his 18 wins, Roberts has eight knockouts and five submissions. Even with the submission wins, Roberts does not pose much of a ground threat; he only averages 0.26 takedowns per bout and 10% accuracy.
The layoff and lack of experience make Parsons a tough fighter to handicap. While Roberts has struggled of late, his experience should be enough to take advantage of the UFC newcomer. At just -105, Roberts is worth a look here.
