UFC betting online: Former Resurrection Fighting Alliance champion Christos Giagos (11-3, 6 KOs, 3 SUBs) will meet former World Series of Fighting prospect Chris Wade (9-1, 3 SUBs) in a lightweight tilt at UFC Fight Night 68.
The fight takes place on the prelim portion of a card headlined by the legendary Dan Henderson and former contender Tim Boetsch. Wade will look to continue his hot start and further solidify his status as a top prospect.
Check Bookmaker’s Giagos-Wade UFC odds for the latest money lines on each fighter, and expect Wade to be the slight favorite going into the bout. Wade has been very impressive thus far as a pro, and oddsmakers will definitely factor that into the lines. In this three-round bout, the over/under is likely to be set at 2.5 rounds, with the over being the more expensive play.
Wade is 2-0 in the UFC, with wins over Cain Carrizosa and Lipeng Zhang. Prior to the UFC, the Long Island native spent time in Ring of Combat and made an appearance in WSOF. At 27 years old, Wade could force a match against a top-20 opponents with a few more victories. He’s not a flashy fighter, relying more on control and a top-heavy game.
Giagos came up short in his UFC debut against Gilbert Burns, tapping out to a first-round armbar. He bounced back in his most recent bout, beating Jorge Antonio Cezario de Oliveira at UFC Fight Night this past March. At 25 years old, Giagos is a prospect in his own right, spending time in UFC feeder leagues such as TPF and RFA.
If you bet with Bookmaker’s Giagos-Wade UFC odds, I’d lean towards betting on Giagos. I love the fact that he’s a former RFA champion with an impressive finishing ratio. That tells me he’s an aggressive fighter, and that means he can score valuable points with judges over three rounds. While Wade might have the better record, Giagos has a higher ceiling due to his power. The pick to win is Giagos by decision.
