UFC 222 is a card filled with aggressive, tightly contested fights — the main event notwithstanding. Which means that gambling on this PPV is a challenge for most. Do not worry, I’m here to bring you a few of the best value bets that can be made with this Saturday’s UFC 222 event.
Cyborg To Win In Round two (+250)
We all know that Yana Kunitskaya has approximately 0.001percent chance of beating Cyborg — which includes oddsmakers. That is why Cyborg will be among the greatest favorites in UFC history when she steps inside the Octagon.
We also know that — in all probability — Cyborg will knock Kunitskaya’s head away at a certain stage. But the real way to make money is figuring out when.
Cyborg is not the balls-to-the-wall, aggressive fighter that she was. Don’t get me wrong, she is still a finisher with the capacity of ending any competitor at any time. But Cyborg is becoming more patient and methodical in her striking, allowing her to fully maximize her hands and power.
Anticipate Cyborg to slice up Kunitskaya through the first round whilst figuring out her opponent’s timing –“Foxy” has a unique striking style that may take a couple of moments for Cyborg to fully unravel. But after the initial round, Cyborg will immediately start hammering the overwhelmed Russian at the second and finish it in dominant fashion.
MacKenzie Dern To Acquire Inside The Distance (-160)
MacKenzie Dern makes her highly anticipated UFC debut against Ashley Yoder — in what ought to be a freebie for the Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace. However, taking Dern up is way too chalky, and that means you need to look to choose the 24-year-old to win by stoppage.
Obviously, Dern is among the best entry grapplers in MMA now and can easily overwhelm a competitor whose average path to success is her submission match. And though Dern doesn’t have the prettiest striking style round, she’s one of those few strawweights with valid pop in her hands.
Yoder simply does not have an answer to the tools that Dern presents in this matchup. It is merely a matter of time before the referee is pulling Dern off a beaten Yoder.
