Prediction
Market snapshot on Aug. 24: Parnasse roughly -480 to -500, Hooker roughly +370 to +400. Parnasse gets the pick because he brings a deeper all-around game, can change levels between striking and grappling, and enters on a strong run while Hooker has absorbed a lot of damage in recent high-level fights. Hooker's experience and toughness keep the confidence below the raw market price, but over five rounds Parnasse should have more ways to create a finish.
