Sean Brady Money Line (-180) vs Michael Chiesa
Sean Brady comes into this fight 4-0 in the UFC, most recently beating Jake Matthews by submission back in March of this year. Brady is averaging 4.72 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 55%. He is absorbing 3.60 strikes and has a striking defense of 63%. His grappling is also very good, averaging 2.69 takedowns per every 15 minutes and 1.2 submission attempts during the same time period. His takedown accuracy is 60% and his takedown defense is 100%.
Even though Michael Chiesa has been pretty good when grappling, he has shown he is vulnerable to being submitted. Of his 5 losses in the UFC, 4 have come by submission, therefore backing Brady to win and remain undefeated looks to be the best play.
Joanne Wood vs Taila Santos Win by Decision (-165)
Taila Santos comes into this fight 4-1 in the UFC, most recently beating Roxanne Modafferi by unanimous decision back in September of this year. Santos is averaging 3.55 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 50%. She is absorbing 2.01 strikes and has a striking defense of 64%. Her grappling is even better, averaging 2.60 takedowns per every 15 minutes. Her takedown accuracy is 86% and her takedown defense is 88%.
Santos is the clear favorite here, though her money line price is much too high. She has won all of her UFC fights by decision, so backing the same here will be the top play.
Adrian Yanez vs Davey Grant – Fight to go the Distance – No (-190)
Adrian Yanez comes into this fight 4-0 in the UFC, most recently beating Randy Costa by TKO/KO back in July of this year. He is averaging 6.13 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 38%. He is absorbing 4.80 strikes and has a striking defense of 55%.
Grant comes into this fight 4-4 in the UFC. He is averaging 4.21 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 47%. He is absorbing 3.25 strikes and has a striking defense of 56%. His grappling is solid as well, averaging 2.07 takedowns per every 15 minutes. He has a takedown accuracy of 46% and his takedown defense is 60%.
Yanez has won all of his UFC fights by finish, specifically TKO/KO, proving that he has some crazy power. Grant has seen 5 of his 8 UFC fights end inside the distance, therefore backing this fight to end inside the distance will be the top play.
Shayilan Nuerdanbieke vs Sean Soriano – Fight to go the Distance – No (-150)
The biggest concern for Sean Soriano is when he fights on the ground. He has lost 3 of his 4 UFC fights by submission, and has a total of 6 losses by finish. Shayilan Nuerdanbieke has seen 19 of his 26 career fights end inside the distance, which includes 14 wins by finish and 4 losses by submission. For that reason, backing this fight to end inside the distance will be the play.
