UFC 312 Best Bets
UFC 312 Best Bets:
Tatiana Suarez ML (-125): This is crazy to say, but I think that the challenger is better than the champion everywhere. However, this is MMA, and will she be able to mix them better than her opponent? That's what we will find out on Saturday night.
Kody Steel TKO/SUB (-105): Kody has all the tools to become a future world champion one day, and the oddsmakers agree as he is a -300 underdog in his non-Dana White Contender Series bout.
Tom Nolan (-105): He’s technically an underdog, but he has “pick 'em” odds, and I think that he is simply better than Borshchev. I believe the oddsmakers messed this one up. He's better in the stand-up and on the ground. He’s the bigger fighter and is fighting in his home country, and as someone from Australia, that opportunity doesn’t happen too often.
USA Parlay:
Sean Strickland ML - Tatiana Suarez TKO/SUB - Kody Steel TKO/SUB = +1335 BetMGM
This parlay has great value and a realistic chance of hitting. Even though our political climate isn't the best, it's still good to support your fellow countrymen, especially when it comes to them competing in athletics abroad.
Live Underdogs:
- Bruno Brasil: Is a live dog. We just saw her opponent get finished in her last fight, and she is also coming off a win against 'meatball' Molly in her hometown of England.
- Colby Thicknesse: He is making his debut against the 145 champion who is also making his debut. No one should be a -350 favorite like Topuria is on their first trip to the Octagon with absolutely no major promotion experience.
- Sean Strickland: I think that in a rematch, I normally lean toward the person who lost the first matchup because they have more to prove. I also think that Strickland has the best coach in the sport and can set a pace at 185 that only a few can match. If you can't match his pace for five rounds, good luck winning a decision against him, which is part of the reason he thinks he won the first fight.
