UFC Picks
The rematch between these two is finally here. Torres and Hill fought each other on June 12, 2015 when Hill lost by unanimous decision. Hill is looking to get revenge, but whether she can is the question. Another question is why this fight is on the main card. Torres is just 2-4 in her last six fights, while Hill is 2-2 in her last four fights. Torres is listed as the slight favorite in this fight, but why? Torres had lost four in a row before getting a couple of wins against no name fighters in Hughes and Van Buren. I lean a little bit toward Hill in this fight simply because of the price. I also like the rounds to go over, but I don’t like the price. This fight is scheduled for three rounds and it would be very surprising if we get a finish, as neither of these two has much power or finishing ability. I don’t like laying big prices, so I would have to play the rounds to go over in some sort of parlay instead of a straight bet.
