Greatest Betting Win
My favorite memory of betting on sports came when I played a future on the Georgia Bulldogs to win the National Championship in 2021 at a Harrah’s Casino in Murphy, North Carolina. The Dawgs were perfect in the regular season that year, and then lost to the Alabama Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship. They still clinched a spot in the College Football playoff, where they ran over Michigan, and beat Alabama in a rematch for the National Championship game.
Greatest Achievements
One of my greatest achievements came recently when I had a bet on Nottingham Forest to avoid relegation in the 2022/2023 EPL season. I made this bet in the Summer of 2022. Forest had just been promoted, so were favorites to be one of the teams to go straight down. Most of the season, Forest struggled, hovering between 16th-20th place. By April and May, Forest had started picking up a few wins. In the penultimate week of the season, Forest played Arsenal, a team they were heavy underdogs to. Nottingham ended up winning 1-0, ensuring they would stay up and cashing my bet.

Matthew's Picks

Fight Prop Pick
Fight to go the Distance - Yes(-120)

The first fight on the Main Card at UFC Fight Night 272 will see Jose Delano take on Robert Ruchala. This will be a fight in the UFC Featherweight division. Delano enters this fight with an MMA record of 9.73 significant strikes and has a striking accuracy of 65%. Delano absorbs 2.53 strikes and has a striking defense of 72%. He has not shown any grappling ability, but has a takedown defense of 60%.

Ruchala enters this fight with an MMA record of 11-2 and 0-1 in the UFC. He is averaging 2.27 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 35%. Ruchala absorbs 3.27 strikes and has a striking defense of 57%. His grappling is also solid, averaging 2.00 takedowns every 15 minutes, and has a takedown accuracy of 33%.

With Delano being the heavy favorite, we are going to look for this fight to go the distance. Both Delano and Ruchala have only fought in the UFC once; however, in each case, their lone UFC fight went the distance. Because of that, backing this fight to go the distance will be our lean.

Money Line Pick
Estevam Win(+120)

The third fight on the Main Card at UFC Fight Night 272 will see Ethyn Ewing take on Rafael Estevam. This will be a fight in the UFC Bantamweight division. Ewing enters this fight with an MMA record of 9-2 and 1-0 in the UFC. He is averaging 5.67 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 52%. Ewing absorbs 5.13 strikes and has a striking defense of 47%. His grappling is also solid, averaging 3.00 takedowns every 15 minutes. His takedown accuracy is 60%, and his takedown defense is 100%.

Estevam enters this fight with an MMA record of 14-0 and 4-0 in the UFC. He is averaging 2.10 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 54%. Estevam absorbs 2.59 strikes and has a striking defense of 47%. His grappling has been elite in the UFC, averaging 6.01 takedowns every 15 minutes. He has a takedown accuracy of 38% and has a takedown defense of 66%.

Ewing is the favorite; however, Estevam looks to be the best betting option. Estevam does not have the greatest striking volume compared to Ewing, but his grappling ability is much more sound. Further, he absorbs fewer strikes and has elite grappling ability. For that reason, backing Estevam to pull off the upset will be our best bet.

Ricci Win(+105)

The Co-Main Event at UFC Fight Night 272 will see Virna Jandiroba take on Tabatha Ricci. This will be a fight in the UFC Women’s Strawweight division. Jandiroba enters this fight with an MMA record of 22-4 and 8-4 in the UFC. She is averaging 2.33 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 41%. Jandiroba absorbs 2.90 strikes and has a striking defense of 55%. Her grappling is also solid, averaging 2.85 takedowns every 15 minutes and 1.5 submission attempts during the same period. Her takedown accuracy is 37%, and she has a takedown defense of 74%.

Ricci comes into this fight with an MMA record of 12-3 and 7-3 in the UFC. She is averaging 4.18 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 36%. Ricci is absorbing 5.19 strikes and has a striking defense of 57%. Her grappling has also been elite, averaging 2.69 takedowns every 15 minutes. She has a takedown accuracy of 37%, and her takedown defense is 78%.

This fight is essentially even, with Jandiroba set as the small favorite. That said, Ricci looks to be a solid betting option to pull the upset. Ricci is the more balanced fighter and has the advantage in striking volume. She is also basically equal to Jandiroba in grappling; therefore, backing Ricci to win will be our best bet.

Total Rounds Pick
Under 1.5 Total Rounds(-154)

The second fight on the Main Card at UFC Fight Night 272 will see Tommy McMillen take on Manolo Zecchini. This will be a fight in the UFC Featherweight division. McMillen enters this fight with an MMA record of 9-0 and 1-0 in the UFC. He is averaging 7.53 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 51%. McMillen absorbs 5.67 strikes and has a striking defense of 55%. He has not shown any grappling ability, but has a takedown defense of 83%.

Zecchini enters this fight with an MMA record of 11-4 and 0-1 in the UFC. He is averaging 2.34 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 21%. Zecchini absorbs 6.75 strikes and has a striking defense of 46%.

McMillen is one of the biggest favorites on this fight card; therefore, we will be looking at a total rounds prop. Zecchini saw his only UFC fight go under 1.5 total rounds, so even though McMillen’s only UFC fight went over 1.5 rounds, this was the only fight in his MMA career that has done this. Because of that, backing under 1.5 total rounds will be our lean.

Method of Victory Pick
Yakhyaev Win by KO/TKO(-120)

The fourth fight on the Main Card at UFC Fight Night 272 will see Abdul Rakhman Yakhyaev take on Brendson Ribeiro. This will be a fight in the UFC Light Heavyweight division. Yakhyaev enters this fight with an MMA record of 8-0 and 2-0 in the UFC. He is averaging 20.95 significant strikes every 15 minutes and has a striking accuracy of 78%. Yakhyaev absorbs 0.95 strikes and has a striking defense of 75%. He is also averaging 14.29 takedowns every 15 minutes and 14.3 submission attempts during the same period. Further, Yakhyaev has a takedown accuracy and takedown defense of 100%.

Ribeiro enters this fight with an MMA record of 17-9 and 3-4 in the UFC. He is averaging 3.06 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 42%. Ribeiro absorbs 4.00 strikes and has a striking defense of 53%. His grappling has been decent at best, averaging 0.90 takedowns every 15 minutes. He has a takedown accuracy of 42% and a takedown defense of 18%.

Yakhyaev is easily the biggest favorite on this fight card; therefore, we will be looking at his method of victory. He has won 7 of his 8 career MMA fights by finish, and both of his UFC fights. Ribeiro, on the other hand, has lost 3 times in the UFC, and all 3 of these losses were by KO/TKO. Yakhyaev can win by any method, but with Ribeiro prone to being knocked out, backing Yakhyaev to win by KO/TKO will be our play.

Further, he has lost 5 times by finish in his MMA career, while Duncan has won 11 times by finish in his MMA career. Duncan has also won 4 UFC fights in a row, 3 of which were by finish. Because of this, backing Duncan to win by a finish is our best bet.
