UFC betting online: Unbeaten bantamweight prospect Thomas Almeida (18-0, 14 KOs, 3 SUBs) will look to continue his meteoric rise when he faces veteran Brad Pickett (24-10, 7 KOs, 10 SUBs) at UFC 189 in Las Vegas.
The bout takes place on the main card portion of an event headlined by a featherweight championship bout between Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor.
Currently, Bookmaker’s online UFC 189 odds have Almeida as a massive minus-700 favorite, with Pickett at plus+525. So you’re going to have to bet $700 on Almeida to win a measly $100. Full odds, like the over/under and prop bets are typically listed a few days before fight night, so keep checking the sportsbook for the latest updates and additions.
The 23-year old Brazilian Almeida is an elite prospect at 135-pounds, most recently knocking out the well-regarded Yves Jabouin at UFC 186 in Montreal. It was his first pro fight outside of Brazil, and he recorded his 18th stoppage in 19 career wins. While he only fought in regional promotions prior to the UFC, that is still an extremely impressive stoppage ratio at any level.
Brad Pickett is hoping to stop a two-fight skid, with losses to Ian McCall and Chico Camus. He’s just 2-4 in his past six, and at 36 years old his career is undeniably winding down. Still, Pickett is the biggest name that Almeida has faced so far, and his veteran guile could possibly make this an interesting match. But oddsmakers don’t seem to think that this fight will be that close.
If you bet on Almeida vs. Pickett with our online UFC 189 odds, stick with Almeida all the way. There’s a reason he’s considered the top prospect at 135 pounds and a future title contender as well. However, since he’s such an expensive bet, you’ll probably want to use Almeida as part of a parlay if you really want to maximize your earnings.
