UFC 278: Usman vs Edwards 2 (RESULTS)
Winning Bets
Marcin Tybura (+2.75 units)
Romanov completely dominated in round 1. In reality it should’ve been scored a 10-8 round by all the judges but wasn’t. After round 1 however he fell off a cliff. Tybura was able to win the remaining two rounds with his experience and cardio and this win the fight.
Losing Bets
Jay Perrin (-1 unit)
We underestimated Aori’s striking ability and it cost us. He was clearly the better striker and was able to pick apart Perrin for a unanimous decision victory. It was a bad read on our part betting on someone who was 0-1 in the UFC going into the fight.
Jared Gordon & Leonardo Santos FDGTD (-1.5 units)
We thought there was a good chance for violence to occur in this fight and it just didn’t happen. Gordon is a pressure fighter and we felt he could wear out Santos but it never happened. We also were relying on Santos to possibly submit Gordon but that also never happened.
UFC Paris: Gane vs Tuivasa PLAYS)
Robert Whittaker / Nassourdine Imavov parlay -101 (1.6 units) Bet was placed on 9/2/22.
We decided to take the rolling parlay approach for this weeks card. Whittaker is currently the 2nd best middleweight in the world and would still be champion of Israel Adesanya didn’t exist. He’s a great striker with excellent takedown defense and low key good wrestling.
Vettori is a good fighter but is a level below the very best in the division. His striking is average at best. However his cardio and wrestling are his best assets. The problem is we don’t believe he can take Whittaker down so the fight should remain standing. In that scenario Whittaker is by far the better striker and should win by most likely decision.
Imavov is on a roll right now and is getting better. He’s racked up some nice wins and only has 1 loss in the UFC. He’ll also have a size advantage over Buckley.
Buckley has dangerous power and will always be known for his highlight reel finish over Impa Kasanganay. He’s actually on a roll himself at the moment. Ultimately we feel Imavov is the bigger, more skilled fighter in this spot. We feel he’ll get the victory most likely by decision but a finish wouldn’t surprise us.
Robert Whittaker / Nassourdine Imavov / Michal Figlak parlay +188 (1 unit) Bet was placed on 9/2/22.
Figlak is making his undefeated and making his UFC debut. He presses forward with a relentless fighting style. Ziam is an average at best fighter with not much volume, power, or ground game. We feel Figlak will have success taking Ziam down and controlling him. Even if the fight remains standing Figlak’s pressure alone will put him in a position to win on the judges scorecards.
Robert Whittaker / Nassourdine Imavov / Michal Figlak / Charles Jourdain parlay +382 (0.75 units) Bet was placed on 9/2/22.
Wood will hold the speed and grappling advantage. Jourdain should be better everywhere else. Also Jourdain is the naturally bigger fighter. Jourdain has been much more active and has some nice wins on his resume. We feel Jourdain should be more of a favorite and we’re confident that he’s a good fighter to add to the parlay.
Robert Whittaker / Nassourdine Imavov / Michal Figlak / Charles Jourdain / Khalid Taha parlay +783 (0.50 units) Bet was placed on 9/2/22.
Taha is a decent fighter who’s making his 6th UFC appearance. He’s been put in there with some good fighters during his UFC tenure. Quinonez is making his UFC debut while
coming from the Mexico regional scene. He doesn’t appear to be a special talent and Taha is getting a step down in competition. We feel Taha should be a bigger favorite here and are ok playing him in this spot.
