UFC betting online: The UFC keeps adding more Asian fighters to its UFC Fight Night 66 card in the Philippines, with Korean lightweight Tae Hyun Bang scheduled to meet Gaum’s Jon Tuck.
Both Bang and Tuck are looking to make their way out of the regional Asian UFC circuit and onto bigger fight cards, but they’ll need a few more signature victories first. As of now, this fight figures to have little impact on a stacked 155-pound division.
Currently, Bookmaker’s Bang-Tuck UFC odds have Tuck as a slight favorite with a minus-155 money line. Bang’s money line is currently listed at plus+135. The over/under will likely be 2.5 rounds, with the over being the more expensive play.
Bang is a well-traveled vet of the Asian MMA scene, logging time in Deep, Sengoku, Road FC and Top FC. His most significant fights are losses to Takanori Gomi and Jorge Masvidal, although he was able to make it to a decision in both. Just 2-2 in his past four fights, a win over Tuck would secure the first winning streak of his brief octagon career.
Tuck is also 2-2 in his past four, alternating wins over Tiequan Zhang and Jake Lindsey with losses to Norman Parke and Jake Lindsey. What Tuck does have going for him is that all of his eight victories have come by way of finish. With four KO/TKOs and four submissions, Tuck is a well-rounded fighter with offensive capabilities on the feet and on the ground.
If you bet on Bang vs. Tuck, I’d lean towards putting your money on Tuck. Bang does have more pro fights, but has only consistently won against guys that have no place in the UFC. While Tuck is nowhere near being a ranked fighter, he’s faced a higher level of UFC competition thus far. The pick is Tuck to win by decision.
