UFC Seattle gambling preview: Best bets and gimmick parlay

UFC Seattle takes place this Saturday in Emerald Metropolis, headlined by a bantamweight bout between Henry Cejudo and Song Yadong.

On prime of that, there are 11 different fights happening on Saturday, so let’s dive in on all the perfect bets for this week.

All odds are courtesy of our mates at FanDuel Sportsbook.

Single Performs

Henry Cejudo (+230)

I’m a bit shocked that Cejudo is that this massive of an underdog. Certain, he’s 38 years previous, and hasn’t gained a struggle since coming back from retirement, however there are extenuating circumstances. It’s not like Cejudo misplaced to bums since coming again. He misplaced a really shut struggle with Aljamain Sterling after which misplaced a aggressive struggle with Merab Dvalishvili. I don’t know if you understand this however everybody loses to Merab.

Track is an efficient fighter, who remains to be ascending, however he’s historically struggled with grappling and Cejudo is a former Olympic champion wrestler who additionally mixes the martial arts fairly effectively. Don’t get me fallacious, Track ought to be a favourite, however I don’t suppose it ought to be this massive of a line.

Prop Bets

Anthony Hernandez by Factors (+115)

“Fluffy” runs issues again with Brendan Allen within the co-main occasion this weekend from a LFA title struggle again in 2018. Of their first encounter, Hernandez gained a choice, and I feel the identical factor is about to occur. Hernandez is a significantly better wrestler and may have loads of success at getting the struggle to the ground. Allen is an efficient grappler in his personal proper, however I don’t suppose he’ll threaten Fluffy an excessive amount of. If this have been 5 rounds, Hernandez may even discover a stoppage, however with simply three, a choice is almost definitely.

Parlay

Yet one more into the breach, pricey mates.

If there’s one factor I really like, it’s a gimmick parlay. Sadly, this yr, these haven’t been significantly fruitful. A sensible man may take that as an indication to strive one thing else, however within the phrases of Forrest Gump, “I am not a smart man.”

There are two Denims on this card, each of whom I considered to be blue-chip prospects coming off of Contender Collection in 2023. Thus, the Blue Jean Parlay (alternatively the Imply Jean parlay should you’re a professional wrestling fan) was born.

Jean Matsumoto (-162)

Matsumoto steps in on quick discover to face Rob Font, who was speculated to match up with Dominick Cruz earlier than his sudden retirement. It’s a giant step up for Matsumoto, and a giant danger, however I nonetheless like his possibilities. Font has been holding the gates of the highest 10 at bantamweight for some time now however I feel Matusmoto’s creativity and athleticism get him over the hump on Saturday.

Jean Silva (-550)

Silva takes on Melsik Baghdasaryan in a featherweight contest, and because the line suggests, he’s in all probability going to win. “Lord” had a lights-out 2024 marketing campaign, and whereas Baghdasaryan is an efficient fighter in his personal proper, he’s undoubtedly a step again in competitors from Drew Dober. Silva has extra instruments and may get it performed.

Parlay these two bets collectively for -110 odds.

Wrap Up

Welp. Last weekend was terrible. It’s a disgrace this Seattle card fell aside so badly, as a result of it was going to be nice. Now, the UFC has performed the perfect they will given the circumstances and hopefully, we are able to get again on the profitable monitor and make issues a bit of extra enjoyable.

Till subsequent week, benefit from the fights, good luck, and gamble responsibly!
