UFC Fight Night will head over to Louisville this weekend after a profitable night at the office last weekend.
For UFC 302, we profited 5.55 units, going 7-3 and a solid 55.50 percent Return on Investment.
We hope the good times keep rolling as Jared Cannonier faces Nassourdine Imavov in the UFC Louisville main event.
It’s a sneaky, fun card this weekend that will get the primetime treatment on ESPN the network from start at 5 p.m. ET, to finish around midnight ET.
Forty-year-old Jared Cannonier faces Nassourdine Imavov in the main event at 185lbs.
Cannonier has fought some of the divisions best, including Israel Adesanya, Sean Strickland, Derek Brunson, and many more.
Now, he fights Imavov, who is 28 and in his prime, as an aging veteran.
Maybe a few years ago, Cannonier would’ve been favored in this bout.
But for Cannonier, this betting line does not factor in the fact that he is certainly getting worse while Imavov is getting better.
Imavov won’t have a grappling advantage to use, thanks to Cannonier’s sterling defensive grappling, but he will certainly have the volume benefits.
This one is going the full 25 minutes, and Imavov, by decision, is the official bet.
PICK: Fight goes to decision (-160), Imavov by decision (245, BetMGM)
It’s been four years since Dominick Reyes was robbed of a decision against light heavyweight Jon Jones.
Now, he finds himself as a considerable underdog at nearly 2:1 odds against a fighter who has lost three of his last four.
Reyes has next to no chin, this much we know at this point in his career he’s dropped four straight including three by KO.
But it’s really about the number here at +195; Reyes is a fine wager with a potentially sneaky grappling upside, as Jacoby isn’t too difficult to take down.
PICK: Reyes ML (+195, DraftKings)
