The card is absolutely stacked with a few elite matchups, featuring Leon Edwards vs. Sean Brady, Jan Blachowicz vs. Carlos Ulberg, and Gunnar Nelson vs. Kevin Holland.
With high-level strikers and grapplers clashing in London, we can’t help but find plenty of great betting angles.
These are 3 of the best prop bets for tonight’s big event.
Fighter Prop Odds: +225
Leon Edwards is one of the most well-rounded welterweights in the UFC and there’s no arguing that.
His striking is crisp, his takedown defense is elite with his 75% TD defense, and he thrives in 5-round fights. 7 of his last 8 fights have gone the distance, and his calculated approach makes him a prime candidate to win on points rather than KO or submission.
Sean Brady is a dangerous grappler as well, but he struggled against Belal Muhammad’s striking and pressure. Edwards is an even better striker than Brady and has the defensive wrestling to keep this fight standing to go the distance.
On top of that, Brady has never been finished, so while Edwards might dominate all 5 rounds, a decision win is the most likely outcome.
The best part of this bet is at +225, it comes with some serious value.
Fighter Prop Odds: +110
Carlos Ulberg is one of the most dangerous strikers in the light heavyweight division. Take a look at some of his past fights, there’s no question about it.
He’s riding a stellar 7-fight win streak, with 4 of his last 6 wins coming by knockout. On the other side of the octagon, Jan Blachowicz is a former champ, but at 41 years old, he’s slowing down quite a bit.
Blachowicz struggled against aggressive strikers like Alex Pereira and Glover Teixeira, and Ulberg’s speed and precision will undoubtedly cause major problems.
5 of Ulberg’s last 6 fights have not gone the distance, and at +110, this is a really strong bet given his knockout power. On top of the bet itself, this is going to be the real fight to watch.
Fighter Prop Odds: +200
Gunnar Nelson, from Iceland, is a submission specialist. So, it goes without saying that this matchup against Kevin Holland sets up well for him.
Nelson already has 12 career submission wins, and Holland has historically struggled against strong grapplers. Fighters like Stephen Thompson and Derek Brunson took Holland down over and over, and Nelson’s BJJ is even more dangerous than theirs.
Holland’s flashy striking makes him definitely fun to watch, but his aggression often leads to a few openings for takedowns. If Nelson can get him to the mat, we think a submission is more than likely.
At a solid +200, this prop is worth adding to your bet slip, as Nelson’s best path to the win is locking up a choke or an armbar.
This UFC Fight Night offers some of the best betting value we’ve seen in a while.
With Edwards likely taking a decision win, Ulberg all set for a KO finish, and Nelson has a strong chance at a submission, there’s plenty of action for your bet slip.
These props all combine smart analysis with excellent odds, giving bettors like you plenty of angles to cash in.
