UFC on ESPN 50 Main Card best bets

Cory Sandhagen vs Rob Font – Over 3.5 Rounds (-145)

Cory Sandhagen is a significant favorite, making his money line too risky to bet. The more likely result is that this fight will go over 3.5 rounds. Sandhagen has seen his last 4 fights go over 3.5 rounds, while Rob Font has seen 3 of his last 4 fights do the same. For that reason, backing this fight to go over 3.5 rounds will be our play.

Aleksa Camur ML over Tanner Boser (+130)

Aleksa Camur comes into this fight with an MMA record of 6-2. He is 2-2 in the UFC, most recently losing to Nicolae Negumereanu by split decision back in June of 2021. Camur is averaging 4.78 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 59%. He is absorbing 3.15 strikes and has a striking defense of 60%. Camur’s grappling is less than ideal, averaging 0.59 takedowns per every 15 minutes. He has a takedown accuracy of 25% and a takedown defense of 50%.

Tanner Boser is a medium-sized favorite, but he has been poor in the UFC recently, winning just 1 of his last 5 fights. Camur has lost 2 fights in a row, but has the better striking and grappling ability. For that reason, backing Camur to pull the small upset will be the play

Ludovit Klein ML over Ignacio Bahamondes (+190)

Klein is averaging 3.44 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 54%. He is absorbing 3.67 strikes and has a striking defense of 49%. His grappling is decent, averaging 1.22 takedowns per every 15 minutes. He has a takedown accuracy of 40% and a takedown defense of 81%.

Ignacio Bahamondes is a heavy favorite in this fight, but Klein is the one who has a significant advantage in striking. Klein does not have much grappling, but rarely gets taken down. For that reason, backing Klein to pull the upset will be our play.
