Paddy Pimblett ML over Michael Chandler (-148)
The Co-Main Event at UFC 314 will see Michael Chandler take on Paddy Pimblett in the UFC Lightweight division. Pimblett enters this fight with an MMA record of 22-3 and 6-0 in the UFC. He is averaging 4.94 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 53%. Pimblett absorbs 3.75 significant strikes per minute and has a striking defense of 40%. His grappling is also decent, averaging 0.91 takedowns every 15 minutes and 2.1 submission attempts during the same period. Pimblett has a takedown accuracy of 25% and a takedown defense of 52%.
Pimblett is the moderate-sized favorite but still looks to be a great betting option. Not only has he been perfect in the UFC, but he also has the edge in striking and forcing submissions. Further, Chandler has been inconsistent in the UFC, going 1-4 in his last 5 UFC fights. For this reason, backing Pimblett to win will be our play.

Nikita Krylov vs. Dominick Reyes – Fight to go the Distance – No (-210)
The first pick on the Main Card at UFC 314 will see Nikita Krylov take on Dominick Reyes in the UFC Light Heavyweight division. Krylov enters this fight with an MMA record of 30-9 and 11-7 in the UFC. As for Reyes, he enters this fight with an MMA record of 14-4 and 8-4 in the UFC.
Instead of backing either fighter to win, we will be looking for this fight to end inside the distance. Krylov has seen 3 of his last 4 fights end inside the distance, while Reyes has seen each of his last 5 fights do the same. Because of this, backing this fight to go the distance will be our lean.
Sean Woodson ML over Dan Ige (-166)
Sean Woodson enters this fight with an MMA record of 13-1-1 and 8-1-1 in the UFC. He is averaging 5.66 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 46%. Woodson is absorbing 4.20 strikes and has a striking defense of 58%. He also has decent grappling, averaging 0.63 takedowns every 15 minutes. He has a takedown accuracy of 62% and a takedown defense of 84%.
Woodson is the moderate-sized favorite in this fight but still looks to be a solid betting option. Not only does Woodson have the edge in striking, but Ige has been inconsistent recently, going just 1-3 in his last 4 UFC fights. Because of this, backing Woodson to win will be our play.
