Cody Durden steps in at 17-9-1 against Jafel Filho's 17-4 record, but don't let the odds fool you. Model gives Durden a 52.9% win probability to Filho's 47.1%, a whopping 35.6% edge on the plus 455 line. That's prelim value right there. Durden's striking advantage stands out.

Michelle Montague's undefeated at 7-0, unranked, facing #12 Mayra Bueno Silva at 10-6-1. Odds have Montague -425, but model flips it: 45.4% for Montague, 54.6% for Silva. That's a 31.3% edge on the plus 330 dog. Love fading the hype. Silva's striking advantage shines, plus her ranking experience.

Lucas Brennan at 9-1 takes on Francis Marshall's 9-3 in a lightweight prelim that screams value on the dog. Odds list Brennan +360, Marshall -470, but my model pegs Brennan's win probability at 44.3% against Marshall's 55.7%. That's a clear 24.3% edge on Brennan's moneyline. We're betting the underdog here. Even with Marshall's striking advantage noted, Brennan thrives in decisions, model at 45% confidence for that method. Expect 2.3 rounds, 41% chance to go the distance. Reaches are close, Brennan's 71 inches to 72. Brennan uses movement, picks apart from range. Lightweight finishing rates low on prelims, plays to his wheelhouse. Brennan's lone loss came early; he's matured into a decision machine. Marshall wins wars but fades late. Stance matchup favors Brennan's orthodox pressure. Records even, but Brennan's momentum edges it. Public sleeps on this. 90% confidence. Lock it in.
