UFC 316 Predictions & Picks: Saturday, June 7th

Dvalishvili vs. O'Malley 2: Picks

The first fight between these two was a war of attrition. Dvalishvili used relentless wrestling pressure, but O’Malley showed improved takedown defense and striking off the break. This time, with the belt on the line again, expect both fighters to bring strategic adjustments.

  • Pick: Sean O’Malley by KO (+600)
    This was a tough fight to bet since we just saw it happen, and Merab was sitting at +100 on that night.  I still think Merab wins this fight 50 %+, but O’Malley by KO at +600 is massive value since I personally line it closer to +350.  I don’t see a way Sean can win without getting the KO.

Co-Main Event: Kayla Harrison vs Juliana Pena

  • Pick: Kayla Harrison by Submission (+175)
    Kayla is a powerful force in the cage, and she should be able to get this fight to the ground early and dominate rounds once it gets there.  Pena is a tough out, so I don’t expect her to get KO’d, but if Kayla wears her down, she could very easily lock up a choke and end the fight quickly.

Longshot Bets: 

  • Pick: Joshua Van Round 3 KO (+750)
    Van starts slow but builds as the fight goes on.  This fight is going to be close to start, but as the fight goes on, Van should pull away.  We’ve seen him land 50+ significant strikes in the 3rd round before, and if he can get on track and finish strong, he should be able to get the finish.
