Summarize this material to 1000 words optimum
UFC 301 decreases this Saturday night (May 4, 2024) inside Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The pay-per-view (PPV) centerpiece sees Flyweight champ, Alexandre Pantoja, safeguarding his title against relative beginner, Steve Erceg. UFC 301’s co-main occasion functions UFC Hall of Famer and previous Featherweight champ, Jose Aldo, coming out of retirement (as fighters are wont to do) to handle the unsafe Jonathan Martinez (see things get chippy in between these 2 here).

Earlier today, we covered all the cash line odds offered for UFC 301, now it’s time to focus in on the “Prelims” undercard part of the card. The “Prelims” — like the remainder of the card — include a “Brazil vs. The World” style. In most cases, the Brazilian fighters are favorites. Nearly all the bouts have quite uneven odds, resulting in some MMA Maniacs to recommend there’s little worth on this card.
However, let’s take a deep dive on UFC 301’s “Prelims” and see if anything stands apart:

UFC 301 Late ‘Prelims’ Under Card Money Line Odds
Jack Shore (+140) vs. Joanderson Brito (-166)Karolina Kowalkiewicz (+320) vs. Iasmin Lucindo (-410)Elves Brener (+205) vs. Myktybek Orolbai (-250)Jean Silva (-120) vs. William Gomis (+100)

We are going to breakdown line motions throughout the entire card in far more information tomorrow right here. But, in the meantime, there’s been some fascinating relocations including UFC 301’s “Prelims” undercard:

Drakkar Klose’s odds to beat Joaquim Silva have actually reduced from -162 to -180 in the last couple of days. Silva’s rate has actually increased from +130 to +150.

Jamie Mullarkey’s odds are the most unstable on the whole card. He was a -180 preferred when his fight with Mauricio Ruffy was revealed and now he’s a +180 underdog (increasing from a +142 pet on Monday). Significant cash should be can be found in on Ruffy, who is presently a -218 favorite.

William Gomis — among my preferred pets on the card — has actually seen his odds relocation from +135 to +100 in the previous couple of days.

Ernesta Kareckaite’s odds have actually increased from +170 to +195 in the last couple of days.

UFC 301 ‘Prelims’ Prop Bets
At this point in the week, DraftKings have actually struck us with numerous prop bets for this global PPV card. Here are some fascinating choices including Saturday’s undercard:

Dione Barbosa to beat Ernesta Kareckaite through submission (+225)

Barbosa has actually won half her 6 expert battles submission and made her UFC agreement with an armbar surface over Rainn Guerrero on Contender Series in 2015. Barbosa is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black-belt who was on the Brazilian Judo group for the Olympics. Kareckaite, on the other hand, is mainly a stand-up fighter, for this reason her “Heavy Hands” label. She battles out of Lithuania, where I picture it’s tough to get leading grappling direct exposure. She likewise has long arms, which will assist her when standing, however might be a liability on the ground (against somebody skilled in demolishing limbs).

Jamie Mullarkey to beat Mauricio Ruffy through KO/TKO (+600)

Mullarkey is an underdog here, in spite of being noted as a preferred when this fight was initially revealed. Ruffy is a 30-year-old Contender Series graduate who has actually just combated on the Brazilian local scene. His one loss is a technical knockout to Manoel Sousa in 2019 (see that listed below). Ruffy likes to enter fire battles, with his by far low. Mullarkey will offer him a brawl if he desires one and who’s to state Mullarkey (with much more Octagon-level experience) can’t discover his chin?

Karolina Kowalkiewicz to beat Iasmin Lucindo through choice (+450)

If you like Kowalkiewicz as an underdog here — against a fighter young sufficient to be her child — then you may too take her to win through choice. Kowalkiewicz has actually won 12 of her 16 expert wins by choice. The initially 3 surfaces of her profession all came throughout her very first 5 bouts in between 2012 and 2014. The just other surface she has is a submission over a 37-year-old Felice Herrig in 2022 (watch it here). Lucindo is getting a great deal of regard here in spite of having just a 15-5 record and holding losses to the middling Gabriella Fernandes and Invicta washout Barbara Acioly.

Jean Silva vs. William Gomis to be won through split/majority choice (+350)

I believe this is an actually close fight and I believe both guys will have the ability to prevent getting completed. So, I think there is a great possibility this goes to the judges which those judges have a tough time finding out who won (home town cooking aside). Also, Gomis’ last 2 choices have actually been a split (vs. Francis Marshall) and a bulk (vs. Jarno Errens). Silva has actually just heard the judges’ choice as soon as, however Gomis represents a genuine action up in competitors for him.

Ismael Bonfim vs. Vinc Pichel to end in the first one minute of Round 1 (+1400)

Here’s the “Hail Mary” for the week. I’m believing there’s an opportunity Bonfim secures Pichel in one minute or less. He’s the very first reasonably identifiable Brazilian skill on the card, so the crowd ought to be actually hot for him (similar to they were when he knocked out Terrance McKinney with a flying knee — view it). Maybe he feeds off the crowd once again on Saturday and blitzes away his 41-year-old challenger. Bonfim has 2 sub-minute wins in his profession, though one remained in 2013 and the other was because of an injury. In 2020, he scored a technical knockout win in 1:12 and a year before that he got an anaconda choke win in 1:39.
