UFC Fight Night Best Bet - Edson Barboza vs. Lerone Murphy: Barboza ML +125

Barboza has faced the highest levels of competition and normally holds off anyone outside of the top 10-15 rankings, and I expect him to do that here. Murphy is undefeated in the UFC, but it’s been close fights, and he hasn’t been fighting the highest level, so why not take a shot on the veteran at a dog price?

UFC Fight Night Prediction - Abus Magomedov vs. Warlley Alves: Magomedov By KO -110

Alves doesn’t have the durability to last three rounds at this point in his career and Magomedov is a monster early in fights. I could see both of these guys gassing and it getting sloppy, but I think Magomedov gets Alves out of there before he fully gasses out.

 

 

 

UFC Fight Night Parlay - Williams vs. Harris ITD + Gorimbo vs. Brahimaj ITD: -104 Odds

Williams is a KO artist who is off his game and is going to end up on his back and defending submissions from Harris for the whole fight, so someone is going to get caught in one of these exchanges. 

Gorimbo is miles ahead on the feet, but Brahimaj is a great submission artist if this hits the ground so both of them are alive to win this. Brahimaj also has terrible cardio and is on a two-year layoff, so if Brahimaj tires himself going for a submission, I think Gorimbo can KO him late.

UFC Fight Night Best Bet At Long Odds: Adrian Yanez To Win In Round 3 (+750)

Yanez has superior cardio and striking, but early on this could be a slow fight as he comes off of multiple KO losses. As the fight goes on, I expect Yanez to pick up his volume before eventually getting the late finish.
