Davey Grant-Daniel Marcos Parsons Pick, Prediction and Odds
Davey Grant-Daniel Marcos Odds
Davey Grant: +120 | Daniel Marcos: -145
Marcos lands 6.01 significant strikes per minute while absorbing just 3.05. Marcos has not scored a takedown at the UFC level, but he defends them at 88%. Generally speaking, his ground game has been just good enough to keep his fights on the feet. Marcos does not have a strong strength of schedule, so this could be tested against a UFC veteran in Grant.
Grant will have an experience edge with 11 UFC fights under his belt. Grant has a well-rounded game, featuring 4.78 significant strikes landed and 3.89 significant strikes absorbed. He also lands 1.41 takedowns per bout and 42% accuracy. While his 62% takedown defense leaves a little to be desired, Marcos doesn’t look like a threat to get this fight to the ground.
Throughout his career, Grant has struggled with superior grapplers, evidenced by his four submission losses. He has never been knocked out and has shown solid durability into his mid-30s. With a strong, complementary mixed martial arts game, Grant should be able to out-point the undefeated prospect. Sprinkling the underdog Grant makes sense here.
