on Saturday pops its collar in the Jersey Shore for the first time in years with a show that it hopes will bring a little something for everybody. Plenty of regional competitors will give fans something to cheer for, even if some of the matchups for the locals are quite daunting. Join theedition of Prime Picks as we take a slow ride in the main event, select precision over power and expect a few wild brawls before the dust settles.
It is entirely possible that from a pure skill perspective, the victor of this main event may be the best competitor at 125 pounds among all women. To settle who gets the next crack at the throne—which will be decided betweenat some undetermined date that could be September—a striker and a grappler will ply their trade in the ultimate clash of styles.
While the over of 3.5 rounds appears more appetizing at -150, there are a lot of unknowns when it comes to the later rounds. Neither woman has ever competed beyond the third frame as a pro. Some suggest Fiorot was fading late against a defiant Namajunas. If Blanchfield can impose her grappling for an extended time and pass through Fiorot’s resistances, a late stoppage in Round 3 might not be off the table.
If there is some apprehension about betting this prop due to Dumas’ last two encounters going to decision, his opponents ofboth sport knockout rates of 50%. It may be that when rising to this level of fighter, Dumas cannot get the job done inside the distance, but he has someone in front of him in Ruziboev that will throw hands or play in the ground.
