Lawrence Lui vs Hector Santiago prediction

Prediction

Market snapshot on Aug. 24: Lui roughly -300 to -330, Santiago roughly +240 to +275. Lui has won five straight, already owns a UFC victory and brings a more proven mix of striking and takedown offense from City Kickboxing. Santiago's record is built around knockout power, so Lui's safest path is to keep the fight varied rather than trade cleanly in the pocket.

What could go wrong?
