This is an easy Gokhan pick for me, I am very surprised to see the odds as close as they are. I don't know what I am missing. I did the tape study and I saw a big dude who can bomb and wrestle. Tanner is on this card because he is a Canadian, he is fighting at heavyweight because they didn't give him much of a choice. I do like Tanner Boser and I have picked him a handful of times in his UFC stint, but he was just never that guy and I don't trust his takedown defense here. Gokhan is the pick and I have a half a unit on him at -155.
Tanner Boser
Tanner Boser is back at heavyweight after a 2 year hiatus from the UFC and a regional wn. While he wasn't very successful in his first UFC stint, he is still a talented guy. He has solid hands and very real power. He's is athletic for a heavyweight but on the small side and has trouble with the larger guys. He is a solid striking differential of 4-2 and while he has a 62% takedown defense he has zero recorded takedowns in the UFC.
Gokhan Saricam
Gokhan Saricam is an explosive heavyweight who will strike but shines as a wrestler. He wrestles like a much smaller man with real takedowns and plenty of pressure on top. On the feet he will work rangy leg kicks or throw a powerful 1-2 before taking an actual shot. As soon as he is on the ground he is immediately striking and always looking for a finish.
