UFC Fight Night Betting Guide: Live Odds, Predictions, and 3 Best Bets
Just because most of the sports world will be focused on football doesn’t mean you should neglect UFC Fight Night. We’ve got 3 best bets lined up for you here!
Main Event Play: Sean Brady (-180)
Brady’s only loss in his career came against now champion, Belal Muhammad. He bounced back nicely in his latest fight which ended in a submission of Kelvin Gastelum.
He now faces Gilbert Burns, who, if Brady can defeat, would put him near the top of the division and in line for a title shot soon. Burns also lost a recent fight to Belal Muhammad back in May of 2023. He then faced Jack Della Maddalena and lost by KO/TKO this past March.
Burns can stand and strike with the best of them but Brady has some of the best grappling in the division. We expect him to be able to get Burns to the ground and grind out a decision victory.
Main Card Top Finish Play: Steve Garcia via KO/TKO/DQ or DEC (-175)
Garcia has been on a KO/TKO tear over his last 4 fights. None of his last 4 fights have made it past the 2nd round with Garcia knocking out all 4 opponents.
Here, he gets Kyle Nelson who will try to use his kickboxing background to keep Garcia out of the pocket and at range. We believe Garcia will bully his way in and land some serious shots that will hurt Nelson and give him the win.
Top Underdog Play: Jessica Andrade (+250)
Andrade faces Natalia Silva in this flyweight matchup. Silva is 17-5-1 in her career but is on a 11-fight win streak that dates back to 2018. However, the level of competition is not as high as what Andrade has faced recently.
Losses to Blanchfield, Xiaonan, and Suarez had many doubting her future. However, Jess has bounced back and picked up a KO win over Mackenzie Dern and then won a split decision over Marina Rodriguez in her latest fight.
This line is disrespectful to Andrade, and we believe she will use this as motivation to sneak out an upset here.
Other Leans for Remaining Fights
Yanal Ashmouz (+110)
Rongzhu (-230)
Ryan Spann (-340)
Felipe Dos Santos (+150)
Vanessa Demopoulos (+250)
Zygimantas Ramaska (+125)
