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 Track Yadong.

On prime of that, there are 11 different fights happening on Saturday, so let’s dive in on all the very best 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 large of an underdog. Certain, he’s 38 years previous, and hasn’t received a battle since getting back from retirement, however there are extenuating circumstances. It’s not like Cejudo misplaced to bums since coming again. He misplaced a really shut battle with Aljamain Sterling after which misplaced a aggressive battle with Merab Dvalishvili. I don’t know if you recognize this however everybody loses to Merab.

Track is an effective fighter, who continues 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 improper, Track must be a favourite, however I don’t suppose it must be this large 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 battle again in 2018. Of their first encounter, Hernandez received a call, and I feel the identical factor is about to occur. Hernandez is a significantly better wrestler and will have loads of success at getting the battle to the ground. Allen is an effective 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 call is most definitely.

Parlay

Another into the breach, pricey mates.

If there’s one factor I like, it’s a gimmick parlay. Sadly, this 12 months, these haven’t been notably fruitful. A wise man may take that as an indication to strive one thing else, however within the phrases of Forrest Gump, “I’m not a sensible man.”

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

Jean Matsumoto (-162)

Matsumoto steps in on quick discover to face Rob Font, who was imagined 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 most likely going to win. “Lord” had a lights-out 2024 marketing campaign, and whereas Baghdasaryan is an effective fighter in his personal proper, he’s positively a step again in competitors from Drew Dober. Silva has extra instruments and will get it carried out.

Parlay these two bets collectively for -110 odds.

Wrap Up

Welp. Final weekend was horrible. 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 carried out the very best they will given the circumstances and hopefully, we will get again on the successful monitor and make issues a little bit extra enjoyable.

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