Smith: Both fighters are coming into this fight off of a loss to Jon Jones, which isn't really a blemish on either fighter's record. However, before those opportunities, both of these fighters looked like two of the best in the world, which is why they were given a shot at Jones in the first place.

Stockholm, Sweden is the host of UFC on ESPN+ 11 featuring Alexander Gustafssonand Anthony Smith in the main event. There are 12 fights overall on the card, but we will talk about the main event and some of my favorite plays outside of it.

Gustafsson vs. Smith:

Both fighters are coming into this fight off of a loss to Jon Jones, which isn't really a blemish on either fighter's record. However, before those opportunities, both of these fighters looked like two of the best in the world, which is why they were given a shot at Jones in the first place.

When we look into the Jones fights of each of these two fighters, I think that the most telling thing and why this line is the way it is was the fact that I think that Jones respected Gustafsson more. Even though Smith lasted 5 rounds and Gustafsson did not, I think that anyone that watched both fights would agree that Gustafsson garnered more respect from Jones. I think that Jones almost toyed with Smith for the most part. Again, that isn't because Smith isn't a fantastic fighter, but because Jones is incredible and knew that Smith did not have the firepower to really hurt him and Jones simply didn't sell out to go for a knockout finish, especially because Anthony 'Lionheart' Smith is called that for a reason. Now, MMA Math of this guy was better against this common opponent is NOT the only way to look at things and it can often get you in trouble, but seeing the respect for each opponent I think is important to note.

When we look at this set up, we have Gustafsson fighting in Sweden, his home nation, and I think that there is an indication there that this fight is meant for him to win to rebound back from his loss to Jones. Smith is seen as a fighter with more wear and tear and less potential. I think that the UFc is trying to get Gustafsson a win vs. an opponent with a good track record, but one that he should still be able to get over. I like Gustafsson here (-305).

Rakic vs. Manuwa:

Rakic is the other significant favorite that I like on this card. Overall, Rakic is 11-1 in his MMA career, and his career trajectory is basically the opposite of his opponent, Jimi Manuwa. Manuwa has lost two of his last three fights inside the distance and the other one to decision, while getting picked apart in each fight. I have not been impressed with Manuwa whatsoever. Ho hung sun family tree. This is another situation where we have a high trajectory, European fighter fighting an American who is probably looking back on the best part of his career at this point. I like Rakic at -200.

Clark vs. Stosic:

Gustafsson Vs Smith Predictions Espn

Stosic started out as a -265 favorite in this matchup, making him one of the biggest favorites on the card. Now, Stosic is listed as a slight dog in most places at -105, where Clark is -115. I jumped on Clark when the lines came out because I think this is giving too much credibility to Stosic without proving too much. Both fighters are up and coming fighters that have shown promise early in their career, but I think Clark is the more proven fighter overall. Now, I don't think that Clark has proven that he is better, I just think we know who he is more than we do Stosic. This one will depend on the line for me, but I like Clark unless the line continues to move. Stosic got scratched in February due to injury, which could be causing the line movement if there are unknown issues. Clark has recent losses, but they are both to legitimate fighters that are not going to make me think less of him. When we see massive line movement like this, it is usually for a reason, and I like just banking on the fighter with the betting market momentum in these scenarios.
