Ian Parker’s betting tip

From what we have seen so far, if Spann doesn’t get the finish early in the fight, he gasses himself out and gets finished. He has also put himself in plenty of poor positions in fights, showing his lack of experience against higher-level fighters. His opponent will be a real test to gauge his place amongst the best in MMA.
