Lou from Gamblou.com giving us some of his expert picks for free!
Welcome fight Enthusiasts to UFC FN 101 from Australia. This card offers many fresh fighting faces we have little data on which mandates that today we watch more than wager in order to gain advantage down the line. Here are a couple mangy mutts that ‘London to a brick’* will offer us their absolute best effort tonight. We’re betting that our Bitzer’s* bite!

Tuck -135 vs. Brown +125
Brown, the Aussie is a grizzled fight vet having worked the regional Aussie circuit until recently being called up to the UFC. He displayed tremendous grit and determination in his last victory and while he may have a slight edge over Tuck on the floor we feel the Aussie will be unable to fight the calculated fight preferring to trade leather with a man that is more athletic, larger, faster and skilled than Brown. Provided Tuck controls the distance and keeps Brown raging inside to exchange this is a fine spot for Tuck. Tuck opened -185….
Tuck -135 (half)
Camozzi -260 vs. Kelly +240
Camozzi is the younger, longer, taller striker here and deserves to be the chalk. Kelly standing is no real match for Camozzi for he is not only 39 but fairly premeditated with his striking, slow and plodding. He does have some power but Kelly’s craft is Judo. Kelly will look to try to get his hands on the younger faster striker, grind on him, take him against the fence for a fleece on the floor in order to sap the younger man’s energy and convert this fight into a barroom brawl. Kelly, who just returned from some time off because he was coaching the Aussie Judo team in the Olympics has been training and working with these young men for months and understands the position he is in tonight fighting in front of the home crazies. We feel that Kelly’s in position to offer his best effort this evening and we feel his top effort is worthy of a half a ‘caterpillar’*.
Kelly +240 (half)
Volkanovski -170 vs Kasuya +160
We know little of the local here except to notice that he is giving away tremendous size to his opponent. Further this is his UFC debut. Fightmetric followers will also note that when he hit the scale he was one pound underweight. Our resources have indicated that Volkanovski is really a 125’er and our scrutiny of him at weigh-ins reinforces that. He’s a stand up striking machine and will want to come out and hit the Japanese fighter with Sunday shots but we question how much affect those shots will really have against his opponent if they do in fact connect. Kasuya is not only the larger man; he also has the benefit of experiencing a tough UFC loss against a mighty fighter in Nick Hein so it is our opinion that Kasuya is going to be no easy task. He’s sure to be focused and a bit desperate to get his hand raised and we handicap this fight with this in mind. Kasuya will need to get his hands on the striker, take him to the floor and use his grappling to gain control of the fighter and eventually the fight and we feel he will be able to do that….Here’s a little prop on the pup.
Over 2.5 rounds +100 (half)
Brunson -135 vs. Whittaker +125
This is perhaps one of the best fights of the year. These two men are both top ten fighters in their division and they arrive with plenty of momentum. We discussed this fight earlier this week on our appearance with Gabriel Morency on MMAMeltdown which airs on Fightnetwork and we’ll share many of those same sentiments now.
The Kiwi Whittaker fights out of Australia and is a young explosive striker with deadly power. He advances with unrelenting pressure and is supremely confident. He makes little beef about the fact that he is there to knock his opponent’s head off of his body. The opponent Derek Brunson arrives to the Octagon tonight with plenty of momentum and swag of his own. Brunson has faced a higher level of competition than has Robert. Brunson will be the larger man in the Octagon with a substantial 4” reach advantage. He’s a three time DII All American wrestler who’s as capable on the mat as he is standing and striking…plus he has power. Brunson is also a southpaw which is worthy of mentioning for all of Whittaker’s recent wins have been against right handers and his last loss in April of 2014 was against a man taller, longer and a southpaw in Steven Thompson. We believe Derek Brunson has more ways to win this fight specifically he’ll need to weather Whittaker’s early fury, eventually take this fight to the floor and wear, grind and maul the striker in order to have his way with him in the championship rounds.
Brunson -135
