UFC Fight Night Predictions & Picks: Saturday, May 31st

Erin Blanchfield vs. Maycee Barber — Best Bet: Barber ML (+200)

Erin Blanchfield (12-1) is one of the most dominant grapplers in the flyweight division. She’s riding a 9-fight win streak, including dominant performances over Taila Santos and Jéssica Andrade. Her top control, positional awareness, and cardio make her a nightmare matchup for anyone in the division.

Maycee Barber (14-2) is no pushover. She’s won five straight fights and has sharpened her boxing and takedown defense. However, she hasn’t faced someone with the relentless ground game that Blanchfield brings. Barber has been taken down in 5 of her last 6 fights — not a good sign when facing a jiu-jitsu ace.

Pick: Barber ML +200

 

 

 

Co-Main Event: Ludovit Klein vs Mateusz Gamrot — Best Bet: Gamrot ML -145

This is a close fight, and it comes down to a class of styles.  Gamrot is going to be looking for his takedowns early, and if he is successful, he should be able to win the fight.  Klein is the better striker, but he has a bad habit of once he gets taken down, he struggles to get his opponent off of him.  I’m picking Gamrot to win by decision, but the prop only moves the line from -145 to +100, so I’ll just be playing the moneyline.

Pick: Gamrot ML -145
 

 

 

Sleeper Pick: Allen Nascimento vs Jafel Filho — Best Bet: Filho by Submission +700

This is your value play. Filho has been in a bunch of close fights, but he excels on the ground.  Nascimento also likes to get the fight to the ground, so if this becomes a fight that takes place solely on the ground, I expect one of these two fighters to land the submission.  Nascimento is off a two-year layoff and missed weight, so I expect Filho to be able to dominate here.
