Daniel “Gumby” Vreeland backed Carlos Hernandez at +145, calling him the grittiest underdog on the prelims. He argued Hernandez’s losses came only to elite flyweight wrestlers Tatsuro Taira and Allan Nascimento, yet Hernandez still stuffed multiple takedowns in both bouts and held Taira to a career-low 2:47 of control time. Park, by contrast, owns just a 27% takedown accuracy and has not fought since December 2023, leaving questions about form after an eight-month layoff. Gumby likes Hernandez’s hand speed, noting a +0.47 strike differential built against better competition, and expects Hernandez to keep the fight standing long enough to win a volume-heavy decision. He suggested sprinkling the decision prop for a juicier return.
