I think the primary reason for the line is the lack of knowledge on the fighter. If you\u2019re not familiar with the fighter, he made his UFC debut at part of the Road to UFC series, which didn\u2019t quite get the hype it deserved. In all of those fights, he showed his ability to grind out wins, put on a show in every avenue and scramble with the best of them. If he is able to blend those things together, it should be a rough night for Steele.<\/p>\n<p>Steele showed in his last fight with Rongzhu that while he is good at being the hammer, he may not be able to be the nail. He got outclassed heavily on the feet \u2013 getting outstruck 126 to 59. He looked for takedowns, but when the bigger, stronger opponent stuffed those, he seemed to be out of ideas. This caused some cardio issues that really compromised his defense late in the fight.<\/p>\n<p>Dom Mar Fan is known to be able to scramble and force people into gritty fights. Also, he\u2019s also more than adept with his hands. If he can put those two things on Steele, we should see a nice upset early in Perth.<\/p>\n<p>UFC Perth Prelim Pick: Dom Mar Fan ML (+175)<\/p>\n<p>SGPN Daily Content for April 28th, 2026<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2026\/04\/26\/mma-main-card-pick-of-the-week-ufc-perth-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MMA Daily Best Bet<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2026\/04\/27\/nhl-goal-scorer-parlay-for-tuesday-april-28th-nhl-predictions\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NHL Goal Scorer Parlay<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2026\/04\/28\/mlb-nrfi-and-yrfi-picks-april-28th-2\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MLB NFRI\/YRFI Plays<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2026\/04\/28\/daily-nba-player-props-april-28th\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NBA Player Props<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/2026\/04\/27\/best-bet-for-tuesday-april-28th-nhl-playoffs-predictions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Daily Best Bet<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t Forget About our Free Picks Pages Too!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/nba-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NBA PICKS \u2013 UPDATED DAILY<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/odds.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/college-basketball-picks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">COLLEGE BASKETBALL PICKS \u2013 THE PICKS POWERHOUSE<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/nhl-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NHL PICKS \u2013 LET IT SLIDE<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/soccer-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">SOCCER PICKS \u2013 KICK IT ON THE PITCH<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/nascar-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NASCAR PICKS \u2013 FEEL THE THUNDER<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/ufc-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">UFC PICKS \u2013 TAKE DOWN CORPORATE GAMBLING<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like even more info to help make your MMA and UFC picks and predictions for UFC Perth, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com\/podcasts\/mma-gambling-podcast\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MMA Gambling Podcast<\/a>.
