UFC betting online: Canada’s Ryan Jimmo (19-4, 8 KOs, 2 SUBs) is set to face Brazil’s Francimar Barroso (16-4, 8 KOs, 6 SUBs) in a light heavyweight clash at UFC Fight Night 67 on May 30.
Barroso figures to have a hometown advantage, as the Brazilian will be fighting on home soil in his native country. It’s a fight that will have little impact on the title picture, yet should be entertaining nonetheless.
Check Bookmaker’s Jimmo-Barroso UFC odds for the latest money lines on each fighter, and expect Jimmo to be the slight favorite going into the bout. It’s definitely possible that this fight could be a pick’em. The over/under on this three round bout is likely to be 2.5 rounds, with the under being the more expensive bet.
Jimmo has alternated wins and losses since his UFC debut in 2012. Most recently, he submitted to a kimura from Ovince St. Preux at UFC 174. His other defeats have come at the hands of Jimi Manuwa and James Te Huna. While St. Preux has established his status as a top-10 guy, losses to Manuwa and Te Huna show that Jimmo’s ceiling isn’t exactly world class.
35 years old, Barroso is coming off a split-decision loss to Hans Stringer at UFC Fight Night 38. Prior to that, he won his UFC debut against Ednaldo Oliveira at UFC 163. Barroso has shown some killer instinct throughout his career, with 14 stoppages in his 16 wins, but has mostly competed on the Brazilian regional circuit.
If you bet on Jimmo vs. Barroso with Bookmaker’s UFC odds, I’d lean towards Jimmo here. However, the men match up extremely well and I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to go with the Brazilian on his home turf. But Jimmo is the younger, more experienced fighter whose been in the cage with top-10 guys, and that’s more than you can say for his opponent. The pick here is Jimmo to win by TKO in the second.
