sarj
Las Vegas - Gotta give a shout out to the ladies tonight in Jacksonville, and look at Sijara (Sarj) Eubanks vs. Sarah (Cheesecake) Moras. Never try to handicap nicknames, but C'MON, Sarj vs. Cheesecake. Who you on? Apparently, the oddsmakers are handicapping the stronger nickname as well since Eubanks is a substantial favorite at -$300 (bet $300 to win back $100), while Moras is a sizable underdog at +$240 (bet $100 to win back $240).
Mrs. Ecks & Bacon is smiling in the corner because she knows that the Tale of the Tape is next. Looking at Eubanks, she is 35 years old from Springfield, Massachusetts. The Sarj tips the scale at a buck 35, is 5'3" and has a 67.0" reach. Her MMA record is just average at 4-4, with 2 wins coming by KO and 2 by decision. Sijara has not been in the ring since losing to Bethe Correia back in September of 2019. However, she is a Black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and would splatter me on the canvas if I ever stepped inside the Octagon.
Moras is 32 years old from Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, and tips the scale at a buck 36, is 5'7" and has a 67.0" reach. Cheesecake's (a giggle every time I say that) MMA record is 6-5, with 3 wins coming by KO, 2 by submission and 1 by decision. Sarah is a Purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. So, what is Purple? The Purple belt is the intermediate adult ranking in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. According to the website, the Purple belt level practitioner has gained a large amount of knowledge, and Purple belts are generally considered qualified to help instruct lower-ranked students.
The Sarj is a Black belt which denotes an expert level of technical and practical skill, with a side of SCARY! And if you're wondering, the color rankings start at White, then go Blue, Purple, Brown and Black.
Cheesecake's last fight was also back in September of 2019, a win against Liana Jojua, but she has lost three of her last four matches. And I know you're dying to find out how Moras got her nickname, right? Okay, did a deep dive and found out that one of her friends dared her to come out in her first pro fight to the song "Cheesecake" by the Muppets. She DID, and the rest is history. Where else you gonna get that kind of info. Nowhere baby! So, we're talking about Cheesecake and the Muppets vs. a FREAKIN' drill Sergeant. The price is steep, but I know which way to turn. My chips are falling in on the Sarj. TEN-HUT!!!
In the other fights, we like OSP, Ovince Saint Preux, to stay away from Ben Rothwell and take the decision. And if you're sitting, it's BEST BET time BAABBBEEE!!! Gonna throw a big pile of chips on Lionheart, Anthony Smith, to stop Glover Teixeira in the 1st round, with a KO, in the Conservatory (so sorry, but I just had to throw in a reference to one of the all time great board games, Clue.) Also betting the Lion straight up -$175 and betting Under 2.5 rounds at -$130.
