I'm picking Wes Schultz to win against Jackson McVey. This fight is really tough to call, like flipping a coin, but I think Schultz has a good chance. He has solid striking skills and can keep the pressure on McVey. If he stays aggressive and avoids getting taken down, he could score the win. Remember, this is mixed martial arts, so anything can happen. Just keep in mind it could go either way, but I like Schultz's style in this matchup. It was priced at +156 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $25.60 if it lands. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
