NONE
UFC Fight Night: Yan vs Dvalishvili (PLAYS)
Carlston Harris / JJ Aldrich / Raphael Assuncao / Mario Bautista & Guido Cannetti under 2.5 rounds parlay +358. Bet was placed on 3/11/23.
Harris is a decent fighter who’s coming off a loss against Shavkat. Gooden is stepping in on short notice and was previously released from the UFC. Harris should be good enough to get the victory in this spot.
Aldrich is a good, underrated fighter. Her losses have mostly been against better fighters. She also has some nice wins on her record. Lipski came to the UFC with much hype but has gone 3-5 and doesn’t really have a good UFC win.
Assuncao is 40 years old and looked completely done going into his last fight against Henry. He surprisingly got a convincing victory as a big dog in that fight. Grant is as tough as they come but fights wild and reckless. Assuncao’s counter game should be good enough to tag Grant enough to get the win.
Bautista is a rising prospect while Cannetti is a finish or get finished fighter. 3 of Cannetti’s last 4 fights have ended in round 1. While 4 of Bautista’s last 5 fights have ended inside round 2. This fight shouldn’t make it past 2.5 rounds.
Said Nurmagomedov in round 2 +650 & round 3 +1000 (0.50 units each) Bets were placed on 3/11/23.
This is a great matchup between two up and coming fighters. We feel Nurmagomedov is the better skilled fighter and is an opportunistic finisher. Martinez presses a hard pace but has been clipped in the past. We feel Nurmagomedov will catch him at some point and proceed to finish him most likely later in the fight.
Alexander Volkov in round 2 +850 & round 3 +1100 (0.50 units each) Bets were placed on 3/11/23.
This fight should go one of two ways. Romanov is either going to dominate in the grappling and possibly finish Volkov. Or he’s going to gas out later in the fight and get finished by Volkov. We feel Volkov will be able to withstand the early grappling and extend the fight.
Romanov isn’t as good as his record indicates and Volkov has fought the much better competition. Also Romanov has shown a questionable gas tank the later the fight gets. All in all we see Volkov being able to finish Romanov later in the fight and cash our bet.
