Straight Bets

Julianna Peña (+140)

Let’s begin with the downsides of this wager: Peña has not fought in two years, she hasn’t received a struggle in almost three years, and she or he doesn’t have any victories over fighters at present competing within the UFC. That’s not nice!

Nevertheless, Peña does have two crucial issues working in her favor. First, she’s an excellent grappler and wrestler. Pennington is a little bit of a jack-of-all-trades however traditionally, some of the profitable methods towards her has been scoring takedowns, as Pennington isn’t a menace off her again.

Second, Peña is harder than superior algebra and has completely zero stop in her. If one thing doesn’t work, she’s going to doggedly preserve attempting it till it does work. That form of relentless effort makes her a more practical striker than she needs to be, and may play into her fingers within the championship rounds of this struggle.

In the end, this can be a coin flip struggle since Pennington is nice however not unbelievable, and so there’s worth on Peña.

Jose Aldo (+118)

Jose Aldo is among the six best fighters of all time. Mario Bautista is an excellent fighter, however the ocean of distance between “superb” and “Pantheon degree” is huge. Even at his superior age, Aldo remains to be a grasp and creating the struggle he desires. Extra to the purpose, he’s considered one of my favourite fighters of all time and I’m at all times going to again him to win.

Prop Bets

Kayla Harrison by KO/TKO or Submission (+105)

Harrison faces Ketlen Vieira on the primary card in a matchup that is kind of a setup struggle to get Harrison to the bantamweight title.

Harrison is a two-time Olympic gold medalist judoka and a bodily drive of nature. If Vieira might preserve this struggle on the ft, she’d stand an opportunity. However she merely will be unable to try this towards Harrison that means the query is whether or not or not Harrison can get the end. Vieira has confirmed very sturdy in her profession however this model of Harrison is a distinct beast and I feel she will get the assertion end.

Parlays

There’s nothing I like greater than a gimmick parlay and there are two prime alternatives this week. The primary is the Pennington Parlay, which I’m passing on given my assist of Peña this week. The second is the Glory Parlay.

Pereira is a famously a two-division Glory Kickboxing champion, the place he (much less) famously had a rivalry with Cesar Almeida. Now the 2 males are within the UFC and prepare collectively below Glover Teixeira, and are heavy favorites at UFC 307.

Alex Pereira (-506)

So far as the precise struggle goes, I wrote an enormous breakdown over on SB Nation, so you must verify that out, however the brief model is that Pereira is almost certainly going to clobber anybody who willingly engages in a kickboxing match with him, which is what Rountree goes to do.

Cesar Almeida (-400)

And on the prelims, that very same dynamic takes locations when Almeida takes on Ihor Potieria, the person who famously ended Shogun Rua’s MMA profession. That is principally an off-brand model of the primary occasion, and the end result needs to be equally anticipated.
