Ian Parker's betting tip

Alonzo Menifield vs. Misha Cirkunov: After winning three of his last four, Menifield will be looking to make quick work of Cirkunov, a talented submission artist. This is your classic striker vs. grappler matchup. However, the grappler has seemed to fall in love with his hands a little too much as of late, and that is the reason why Menifield is a 2-1 favorite.
