Sherdog prognosticator of prognosticators Jay Pettry surfs the sands of the Middle East in search of suitable selections for bettors.
on Saturday ships off to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with a billing that should bring the goods. Several pairings on the main card are not only enticing but close from a betting perspective—a welcome breath of fresh air compared to the -600 lines of recent events. Join theexceeds the former champion in most noteworthy metrics. While he stands an inch shorter and his reach measures five inches less, Imavov makes up for it with his constant, relentless offense.
Where Magomedov lacks for sheer technical skills he makes up for with creativity and the ability to flow with wherever the action goes. Deciding to twist once to crackwith a spinning backfist and then torque himself in the opposite direction to shut his lights out with a second will live on his highlight reel forever. The Russian would like nothing more than to make this a smack-down, drag-out affair, but he’s facing the wrong guy if he hopes for that type of melee.
It may be surprising to some that a heavyweight knockout artist like Pavlovich sports a lower finish rate than McKinney, his lightweight colleague. After all, the Russian celebrates first-round knockouts over names like, with all three stoppages combining for just under five minutes of cage time. Pavlovich does not like to waste time in the cage, with his three-rounder againstserving as an anomaly on a slate that previously held nine straight fights ending in Round 1.
Of the four men involved in this two-piece parlay, Hadzovic could be the reason it breaks. A stoppage rate of 71% is nothing to sneeze at, but half of his decision wins have come in the Octagon. Thankfully for him and bettors on this accumulator, he will stand across the cage from McKinney, a man allergic to boring fights. Whether he knocks out or gets knocked out, “T. Wrecks” will put himself in the best—or worst—possible situation to make sure a finish takes place.
Inactivity has been a serious thorn in the career of “Beast Boy,” who otherwise has been building a fairly solid resume. Averaging fewer than one fight a year has kneecapped any good will he has built, even with a solid submission of—a win that has not aged well given Gifford’s fairly quiet departure from the sport one loss later—is still one of the worst one-sided beatings one could ever witness in the UFC.
