Why Bet on Colby Covington?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nColby Covington is a cardio machine with elite wrestling and relentless pressure. However, he was exposed by Leon Edwards as someone who is a very good fighter but just not championship material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His ability to dictate the pace and grind opponents down using his wrestling has been his hallmark, but his striking skills leave much to be desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Bet on Joaquin Buckley?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nJoaquin Buckley has had a stellar year where he got three wins against decent opponents. He was originally supposed to fight Ian Garry, and we thought it was going to be a close fight between the two prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buckley has pretty good all-round skills, as shown by utilizing his grappling against the bigger Nursulton Ruziboev and Stephen Thompson before knocking out the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Colby Covington vs. Joaquin Buckley<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBuckley is on his way up, and his striking power should give him the edge over Colby Covington, who has been inactive and not fought in a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are expecting Buckley to get it done halfway through the match and send Covington to the back of the line as he makes his way to the top of the division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UFC Fight Night: Cub Swanson vs. Billy Quarantillo<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhy Bet on Cub Swanson?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCub Swanson is a crafty veteran with slick striking and experience against good competition. However, he is also 41 years old and there comes a time where no matter how good an athlete was in the past as we saw in UFC 310, sooner or later they became a shell of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We think Swanson has hit this point in his career. Yes, his striking still looks decent and he had a competitive loss to Andre Fili but he is way past his prime. Especially in the lighter-weight divisions, we are reluctant to put money on anyone above 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Bet on Billy Quarantillo?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBilly Quarantillo is a high-paced fighter with solid cardio and a relentless pressure style. He is no spring chicken either but he is only 35.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though we think that he is a mediocre fighter, he has alternated wins and losses in his last 8 fights with victories over even worse foes, and that might help him a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Cub Swanson vs. Billy Quarantillo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBilly Quarantillo is our pick here to outlast Swanson in a sloppy striking battle. If Swanson can outstrike Quarantillo and get the victory, fair play to him for keeping father time at bay but we are definitely not placing our token on the 41-year-old featherweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expect the younger fighter to get the win as the old guard finishes passing the torch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UFC Fight Night: Manel Kape vs. Bruno Silva<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhy Bet on Manel Kape?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019scrazy how much can change in a year. A year ago, Manel Kape was potentially in line for a title shot after beating Felipe dos Santos and having that X-rated post-fight interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than a year, a loss, and a few pullouts later this guy is back on the prelims again. It\u2019s like the UFC is punishing him for his recent behavior outside of the Octagon. Still, this guy beat Kai Asakura at RIZIN who got a title shot at UFC 310.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Bet on Bruno Silva?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBruno Gustavo da Silva is a dangerous striker with knockout power but who lacks Kape\u2019s versatility. He had three knockouts in his last four fights which is very impressive for a Flyweight but we think that, as a striker, Kape is a level above Silva and experienced enough to deal with his power shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Given that Silva returned to the cage after over a year on the sidelines, we think the 34-year-old might unfortunately have his best days behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Manel Kape vs. Bruno Silva<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nKape\u2019s ability to mix up his attack and control the pace should give him the upper hand. If da Silva cannot find an early finish, Kape\u2019s experience and well-rounded game will take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kape has his flaws, namely in his lack of output and the amount he freezes in fights, but we think he should quickly learn that he doesn\u2019t need to respect Bruno that much. From there, he can start to get more aggressive against the Brazilian and eventually find a way to hurt him or win rounds with a more damaging output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UFC Fight Night: Dustin Jacoby vs. Vitor Petrino<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhy Bet on Dustin Jacoby?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nEven though he is a veteran with experience and decent striking, it seems like Jacoby’s chin cannot withstand more punishment anymore.He was knocked out easily by Dominick Reyes in the first round and Alonzo Menified could have finished him as well despite Jacoby probably outstriking him for the majority of the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Bet on Vitor Petrino?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nVitor Petrino\u2019s defeat to Anthony Smith at UFC 301 was unexpected, to say the least. It was unbelievable that he would make such a silly mistake which led to him being submitted by the guillotine which ended his undefeated streak as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But he is still a powerful striker with knockout potential, and it has to be in his opponent’s mind at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Dustin Jacoby vs. Vitor Petrino<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nVitor Petrino is our pick to win this fight by knockout to get his career back on track. This fight was basically cherry-picked by the matchmakers to give Petrino a shot at getting things back together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is his match to lose, so we expect him to find a finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UFC Fight Night: Daniel Marcos vs. Adrian Yanez<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhy Bet on Daniel Marcos?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMarcos has won all his four fights in the UFC but this will be his biggest test yet as Yanez is a very good boxer who will truly test his striking. The undefeated fighter is trying to make his name well known and he has a pretty good chance here if he manages to outstrike another fierce fighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Bet on Adrian Yanez?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAdrian Ya\u00f1ez is a sharp boxer with excellent timing and finishing ability along with the technical striking polish needed to pierce through his opponents’ defenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is an up-and-coming prospect who will be looking well in the stand-up fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Daniel Marcos vs. Adrian Yanez<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are expecting a close string battle between these two prospects. This could get very difficult to predict but we are going with Marcos, as we believe that it will take a fighter that is on a higher level of ability than Yanez to deliver Marcos his first loss in the octagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, this does not mean that this fight will be anything less of a barn-burner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UFC Fight Night: Navajo Stirling vs. Tuco Tokkos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhy Bet on Navajo Stirling?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe have almost no idea who Navajo Stirling is. A quick glimpse at his record indicates he\u2019s 5-0, most recently winning on DWCS against a then 6-1 who had mostly beaten nobodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stirling himself competed against opponents with a combined record of 32-29-2, as well as one debutant. Sounds like someone thatisn\u2019t ready for the UFC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Bet on Tuco Tokkos?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTuco Tokkos isn\u2019t UFC caliber, and he\u2019s currently fighting out his jobbing contract. The UFC doesn\u2019t want him around, he\u2019s there to add some green Ws to the records of guys they prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also watched his fight against Zhang when we were doing the UFC Macau tape. And poor Tokkos didn’t deserve to be in that cage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Betting Analysis: <\/strong><\/em>Navajo Stirling vs. Tuco Tokkos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt is hard to give an accurate prediction because there is little tape on one side, but from what we do know, Tokkos simplydoesn’t put the bar high enough for anyone to be worried at the UFC level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We expect Stirling to getthe win, mostly because he lucked out on his opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
