Betting Markets to Watch

When looking for the value that is available, we like what's being offered in the following:

'Khamzat Chimaev Submission and Round 2' appears to offer some value in the headline fight.

Although Strickland's last three previous UFC title fights have gone the distance, Chimaev is a dual-threat finisher, and the submission path looks more likely, as he'll look to start grappling for control early, then begin to lock something up mid-fight.

'Tatsuro Taira by submission' has the strongest value in the co-main event fight. Taira's finish path is most clearly through grappling, not a pure striking decision war.

Four of Tatsuro Taira's last five UFC fights have ended in Round 2, meaning 'Tatsuro Taira Submission and Round 2' could be worth exploring.

'Volkov by decision' offers a cleaner price than his straight moneyline, and lines up with the "technical veteran controls the later rounds" narrative that many follow when betting on UFC fights.

'Brady by decision' fits the read that he survives early bombs, controls later rounds, and doesn't need a finish to win ahead of his fight with Buckley.

Our Prediction

We think there's value in the 'Khamzat Chimaev Submission and Round 2' market, with 'Tatsuro Taira Submission and Round 2' also offering value.

A win by submission for Brady could offer long shot value, as he has a big grappling edge, excellent takedown control, and top-pressure that can win rounds and grind down a volume-striker like Buckley.
