Premium Pick

A battle featuring two of the Top-10 featherweight contenders. Calvin Kattar has lost two of his last five bouts, with both losses going to the judges. 13 of his last 17 fights have gone the distance. He is more of a boxer, preferring to keep fights standing up. His two weak spots are takedown average (0.42), and he's susceptible to efficient leg kicks, which was evident in his last two defeats to Zabit Magomedsharipov and Renato Moicano. His opponent, Dan Ige, has a strong takedown average (1.75 average per 15 minutes). Ige has won six straight UFC bouts, and he was an underdog in his last two fights, split-decision victories over Mirsad Bektic (in February) and Edson Barboza (in May). Ige strikes with more accuracy than Kattar (49 percent to 41 percent) and is excellent at taking opponents to the ground. He will avoid getting into a brawl, looking to get Kattar on the ground. Also, eight of Ige's last 10 fights have gone the distance. Back the dog in a battle that goes on for a while. Play Dan Ige to win and OVER the total.
