UFC 239: Allen vs Melendez Odds, Preview and Pick

Arnold Allen (-350) vs Gilbert Melendez (+265)

Arnold Allen (14-1) could be among the best fighters you have not seen before and the chances certainly suggest oddsmakers are taking him seriously against Gilbert Melendez (22-7). Allen tends to fly under the radar a bit as he’s only fought once a year because 2014, but if he does struggle, fans are in for a treat.
Allen is someone who lets his game do the talking and he doesn’t have a tendency to be a personality pre- or post-fight, that may hurt when it comes to marketing. He is making an effort to be more active as it is already his second fight in 2019. He comes into this bout undefeated at the UFC with a 5-0 record with just two performance of the nighttime awards to his credit.
Gilbert Melendez, 12 years old than the upstart Allen, has been through wars with nearly everyone in the UFC. Melendez has without question diminished, entering the fight on a series. It’s never a fantastic sign when a fighter should step away from the sport to locate their love for it again. After his final fight, he did just that, but I have very real questions about the motivation of Melendez, who hasn’t won since 2013.
This will be the biggest fight of Allen’s career and when he has a wonderful showing, it ought to vault him into the top 15, finally. He’s well educated and has shown an ability to accommodate to the struggle in front of him.
Lately, he’s given away a number of his approach , stating:”I am ready for anything, I have had all sorts of struggles. I have been in dull fights where no one gets hit and you wind up winning without getting touched, and I have had fights where I’ve been in small brawls, kind of grinding struggles, so I’ll be ready for whatever he attracts. I’m just planning to outpoint him, outskill himand going to be somewhat better than him at the evening .”
I concur, and Allen should point-fight his way to a decision triumph, but he wants not to give in to Melendez, who’ll want a kill-or-be-killed firefight.
