Alex White (10-0) vs Lucas Martins (14-1) - Liking the dog in this fight a little bit more at +140 in Lucas Martins... Thinking the O will go perhaps..... Reason being -
Couple of Brazilians going at it in this bout at featherweight - One is a Jits based fighter in Alex White against a MT based fighter in Lucas Martins.... Hmmmm?
(copy and Paste) Check....
Currently 2-1 in the UFC, Martins is on a two fight win streak, and is looking to work his way up in the division. He’s actually coming back up to featherweight after dipping down into the bantamweight pool. White, meanwhile, is coming off a victory in his UFC debut, a Performance of the Night KO over Estevan Payan.
While White has learned to use his hands and not rely solely on his jiu-jitsu, in which he’s a blue belt, he’d be best served to avoid striking and especially the clinch with the dangerous Martins.
White is a last-minute replacement due to an injury to original combatant Jim Alers, though the switch shouldn’t prove too difficult for Martins. Expect perhaps a TKO victory in this one..

Thinking maybe worth a dog play but I don't like that Martins is coming up in weight.. Hmmmm? Still both size up well though.. Like the striker in Martins at +140 in this one.... His only loss is to Edson Barboza so that's respectable..
