-difficult fight to call

-BET - Ode Osbourne (+170) – (4/10)

170 - Michael Chiesa (EVEN) - Vicente Luque (-120)

-quintessential striker v grappler

-both won 4/5

-both pressure in their own way

-Luque WAY more active on feet (5.74/5.78) to (1.89/1.71)

-both have average striking defense (54% to 52%)

-3.6 takedowns/15 for Chiesa - 65% takedown defense for Luque

-fight could look kind of like Luque v Randy Brown

-when Luque loses, its to someone like Chiesa - Leon Edwards took him down 3 times, Michael Graves took him down 7 times

-Chiesa last 2 losses by sub and Luque has 7 wins by sub, won last fight by sub over Woodley

-BET - Luque by submission (+700) - 4/10 (VALUE) - could just go Luque by stoppage (+160) and/or hedge with Chiesa decision (+235)
