Insider info
Chase Sherman favored over Josh Parisian coinflip UFC Fight Night: Rodriguez vs Lemos · November 2, 2022
strikingsolid
The analyst gives Sherman the nod for his boxing but still labels this a fight to skip from a betting standpoint.
Sherman's calling card is sustained output — he keeps throwing at a high rate no matter how long a fight goes, which the analyst rates as his best asset here. He's also considered the sharper boxer of the two heavyweights on this card. The expectation is a standup battle that turns into a genuine slugfest, entertaining but hard to handicap with confidence.
