After UFCās most significant smash hit of 2024, the promo go back to its normal haunt inside UFC Apex this weekend (Sat., April 27, 2024) when Matheus Nicolau vs. Alex Perez headings UFC Vegas 91 in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is a distinctly less-than-stellar fight card, and our common UFC betting consultant, Patrick Stumberg, is progressing to greener pastures. Iāll be filling out, intending to assist readers pull a revenue out of this dumpster fire of a fight card.
Letās dig in …
What Went Wrong at UFC 300?
Jalin Turner
Turner started his bout versus Renato Moicano as a lot of anticipated, shucking off takedowns and spectacular the Brazilian terribly in the very first. Then, he attempted to score a walk-off knockout, the surface didnāt emerge, and Moicano rallied in the 2nd with his grappling expertise. Maybe the bet strikes if āThe Tarantulaā follows Moicano to the flooring tossing bombs?
What Went Right?
Stumberg left with a significant win at UFC 300! Seven of his 8 bets pertained to fulfillment …
Jessica Andrade edged out Marina Rodriguez en path to a close choice win.
Diego Lopes overloaded Sodiq Yusuff nearly right away for an early surface (Highights).
Bobby Green battered Jim Miller, and the over 2.5 rounds prop bet struck (wrap-up).
Jiri Prochazka rallied in the 2nd to stop Aleksandar Rakic (highlights), and Zhang Weili controlled Xiaonan Yan for an effective parlay.
Kayla Harrisonās submission win over Holly Holm (highlights) together with Alex Pereiraās effective title defense equated to another effective parlay.
Aljamain Sterling controlled Calvin Kattar however he didnāt end up, so thatās another over 2.5 rounds prop bet success story.
Finally, Aljamain Sterling plus Zhang Weili was another winning mix.
UFC Vegas 91 Odds For The Under Card:
Rani Yahya (+330) vs. Victor Henry (-520)Austin Hubbard (+140) vs. Michal Figlak (-185)DonāTale Mayes (-105) vs. Caio Machado (-115)Marnic Mann (+250) vs. Ketlen Souza (-360)Ivana Petrovic (-520) vs. Liang Na (+330)Gabriel BenĆtez (-190) vs. Maheshate Hayisaer (+155)
Oh young boy, this undercard is relatively grim. I like to bank on fighters I think about to be understood amounts, which is far more challenging when weāre discussing newbies with 1.5 UFC battles in between them.
Three big favorites and 3 more affordable spaces in odds. Alas, I have no huge upset forecast for you: Na has actually just traditionally beaten average opposition and stands winless (0-3) inside the Octagon, Mann remains in a comparable scenario, however has actually just lost one UFC fight, and the fantastic Yahya is just too old (age 39) to beat great fighters like Henry.
I simulate the odds on Henry vs. Yahya going long, nevertheless. Yahya is traditionally long lasting, whereas Henry is more of a volume fighter than knockout artist. Over 2.5 at -150 noises great to me!
I likewise like a number of the smaller sized underdogs here. Firstly, Hubbard is a strong fighter even if his UFC record isnāt the very best. He has more UFC experience than Figlak, and his historical issue is getting overwhelmed by exceptional professional athletes. Figlak hasnāt shown himself to be a huge player or dominant wrestler, significance Hubbard must have the ability to flaunt his technical kickboxing edge.
In addition, a little leaflet on Hayisaer appears affordable. He doesnāt have any significant technical benefits, however heās a years more youthful and is dealing with a smaller sized challenger. Plus, Benitezās current efficiencies have actually been flat.
UFC Vegas 91 Odds For The Main Card:
Matheus Nicolau (-205) vs. Alex Perez (+150)Ryan Spann (-210) vs. Bogdan Guskov (+155)Ariane Lipski (+125) vs. Karine Silva (-155)Austen Lane (+190) vs. Jhonata Diniz (-265)Jonathan Pearce (-170) vs. David Onama (+135)Tim Means (+235) vs. Uros Medic (-340)
It still aināt much, however the leading half of the card is a lot more intriguing.
From the leading down: Nicolau should have to be a big favorite here, and heās a fairly small one. The Brazilian is among the outright finest Flyweights worldwide, a well-rounded and knowledgeable counter puncher with fantastic ground abilities. Perez, on the other hand, hasnāt won a fight given that 2020 and appears to have actually lost much of the aggressiveness that as soon as made him a competitor.
I wouldnāt recommend touching Spann vs. Guskov with a 10-foot pole ā excessive power!
Pearce vs. Onama is an excellent one. Pearce revealed that he might deal with an actually physical and hazardous professional athlete in his last fight, preventing the most significant shots of Joanderson Brito in a quality efficiency … till he mistook into a guillotine choke. Onama doesnāt have the jiu-jitsu expertise of āTubarao,ā so heās most likely to wind up stuck on bottom for great.
Finally, the veteran Means feels worth a leaflet. Heās had a hard time a bit recently, however āThe Dirty Birdā hasnāt been combating improperly. There are still great efficiencies left in his profession. Medic is a quality kickboxer, however he completely broke below aggressiveness and pressure of Myktybek Orolbai. Means might not be a mill in the specific mold of Orolbai, however he understands how to make a fight awful and take control of as his challengers tiredness.
UFC Vegas 91 Best Bets:
Rani Yahya vs. Victor Henry over 2.5 rounds -150
