UFC Fight Night 191 main card best bets

Derek Brunson ML (+155) vs Darren Till

Derek Brunson comes into this fight with an MMA record of 22-7. He is 16-6 in the UFC, most recently beating Kevin Holland by unanimous decision in March. He has now won 4 fights in a row. Brunson is averaging 3.46 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 47%. He is absorbing 2.72 strikes and has a striking defense of 53%. Brunson is also a great grappler, averaging 3.11 takedowns per every 15 minutes. His takedown accuracy is 33%, but his takedown defense is 94%.

Brunson comes into this fight in better form and his power looks to be legit. Because he also is a great grappler, that balance looks to be enough to propel him to a 5^th straight win.

Alex Morono ML (-135) vs David Zawada

Alex Morono comes into this fight with an MMA record of 19-7. He is 8-4 in the UFC, most recently beating Donald Cerrone by TKO/KO back in May. Morono is averaging 5.05 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 42%. He is absorbing 3.69 strikes and has a striking defense of 56%. His grappling is not as effective, averaging 0.43 takedowns per every 15 minutes. His takedown accuracy is 25% and his takedown defense is 52%.

This fight looks to be pretty even, but because David Zawada has lost 3 of his first 4 UFC fights, fading him here will be the play.

Jack Shore to win by finish (-105) vs Liudvik Sholinian

Jack Shore comes into this fight with an MMA record of 14-0. He is 3-0 in the UFC, most recently beating Hunter Azure by split decision in April. Shore is averaging 3.14 significant strikes per minute, and has a striking accuracy of 57%. He is absorbing 1.61 strikes and has a striking defense of 56%. Shore is a master at grappling, averaging 5.52 takedowns per every 15 minutes. His takedown accuracy is 46% and his takedown defense is 100%.

Liudvik Sholinian comes into this fight with an MMA record of 9-2-1. He will be making his UFC debut. He has won 4 fights in a row with his last fight coming in 2019. Most of his wins have come by decision and but he has 4 finishes in his career.

Shore is a huge favorite and rightly so, as he has been perfect so far. He has 12 wins by finish, 8 coming by submission and 4 by TKO/KO. Even though Sholinian has never lost by a finish, stepping up to UFC competition looks to be too tall of a task. For that reason, backing Shore to win by finish will be the top play.
