Single Performs

Alexander Volkov (+290)

What, you’re going to wager towards that move? Have a look at him!

However significantly, Volkov is an enormous underdog for his rematch with Ciryl Gane, and whereas I type of perceive it, I basically disagree. Of their first battle, Gane was merely quicker than Volkov and used that pace to out-point him over 25 minutes. May that occur once more? Certain. However even in that battle, it’s not like Gane dummied Volkov (statistically, it was really fairly shut), and extra importantly, Volkov now is aware of there’s a manner he can assault Gane.

Jon Jones ran over Gane with one takedown, and whereas Volkov doesn’t usually wrestle, he’s a succesful grappler. I feel Volkov comes into this battle seeking to combine the martial arts, which provides an entire new wrinkle. Plus, Gane hasn’t fought in 15 months, Volkov’s on a heater, and that is solely three rounds this time. All indicators level to this matchup being nearer than the percentages counsel.

Michael Chiesa (-110)

On the prelims, Chiesa takes on Max Griffin in a welterweight contest that figures to be fairly enjoyable. Griffin is clearly the superior striker, however Chiesa stays a really threatening grappler, and Griffin has by no means been an unimaginable defensive wrestler. Most essential, although, Saturday is Michael Chiesa’s thirty seventh birthday! No man desires to get beat up on his birthday! Chiesa goes to return in with some additional pep in his step and choose up a win, giving himself the best birthday present of all: victory.

Clay Guida (+680)

Talking of birthday boys! Guida’s forty third birthday is on Sunday, simply someday after he meets Chase Hooper within the octagon.

No, however significantly, I’m taking Guida as a result of it’s his birthday weekend. I’m taking him as a result of Chase Hooper shouldn’t be a -1000 favourite over any credible opponent. Hooper is 3-3 as a betting favourite for crying out loud!

Sure, I do know Hooper tapped him just lately in grappling, and I do assume Hooper will win, however this value is manner too excessive, so I splashed on “The Carpenter.”

Prop Bets

Alexandre Pantoja vs. Kai Asakura OVER 2.5 Rounds (-128)

There’s a full breakdown of this battle you may go take a look at, however the quick model is that this: Pantoja is nigh unkillable, so I don’t assume Asakura will get him out of there early, and on the identical time, Pantoja’s change into a bit conservative along with his offense of late. Pantoja probably goes heavy with the wrestling, and Asakura is an effective sufficient grappler to keep away from getting completed, so this battle goes lengthy.

Prop Bets

Y’all know I really like a gimmick, and this weekend presents a really apparent one. Two fighters on this card have good 18-0 MMA data. We’re tying them collectively.

Shavkat Rakhmonov (-410)

Full credit score to Ian Machado Garry for stepping up and taking this battle on quick discover, however this can be a fairly robust matchup for him.

Garry is an excellent fighter, however he’s not the dynamic finisher that Rakhmonov is. He would possibly have a slight benefit in vary hanging, however when Rakhmonov will get him in a clinch or on the bottom, it’s a Code Pink state of affairs for Garry. He merely isn’t the identical sort of fighter in these areas, and I count on Rakhmonov to proceed his dominant methods.

Movsar Evloev (-260)

Evloev faces Aljamain Sterling in a prelim bout that ought to be a featherweight title eliminator, and I like his probabilities to stay undefeated.

Sterling is a good fighter, however the former bantamweight champion might be a bit undersized towards Evloev, up at 145 kilos, and his greatest weapon is unlikely to serve him effectively. Sterling is a grappler via and thru, and Evloev has confirmed himself greater than able to rolling with anybody on this weight class. If this comes right down to the hanging, Evloev isn’t nice, however Sterling remains to be so uncomfortable on the ft that I consider Evloev can win that part as effectively.

Parlay these two bets collectively for -139 odds.
