Thoughts: Really not seeing all that much here besides Villante-Barroso going the distance at even odds. Barroso is tough to put away and he has zero interest in getting the finish himself. Villante, though he packs a punch, has demonstrated no technical advancement or fight IQ during his UFC tenure. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could also go for Daniel Cormier by decision at +350. “DC” is methodical in his approach and his only finishes since 2014 are his submissions of Rumble Johnson.
