UFC betting online: When it comes to welterweight battles, it doesn’t get much bigger – physically – than Hyun Gyu Lim vs. Neil Magny. Both Magny and Lim are among the biggest fighters at welterweight, with Magny standing 6’3” and Lim standing 6’2”. For comparison, former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks and current champ Robbie Lawler stand 5’10” and 5’11” respectively.
And because both Lim and Magny have shown promise, the winner of their bout could easily be lined up against a top-15 fighter.
Check Bookmaker’s UFC odds for the latest money lines on Magny-Lim – currently Magny is a minus-120 favorite with Lim at EVEN. Magny is by far the more technical fighter, training with a top-notch team at Grudge Training Center in Colorado. In this three-round affair, the over/under is likely to be set at 2.5 rounds at nearly a pick’em.
Magny is currently riding a six-fight winning streak since starting his UFC career 1-2. While his two losses came against well-regarded fighters in Sergio Moraes and Seth Baczynski, you probably wouldn’t recognize any of the guys he’s beaten during his run. However, there are many hardcore fans that feel like Magny has the physical tools and talent to become one of the better fighters at 170 pounds.
Lim is the sort of come-forward, all-action fighters that crowds love. He’s 3-1 in the UFC, with his lone loss coming to former Strikeforce champion Tarec Saffiedine in a thrilling five-round decision. All of his three octagon victories have come by KO, and 10 of his overall 13 wins have come by KO/TKO. While he’s not the most technical fighter, Lim does have a penchant of turning fights into sloppy brawls.
If you bet on Magny vs. Lim, the safe play is Magny. While Lim boasts heavy striking power, he struggles against refined fighters that refuse to engage in a brawl with him. Against Saffiedine, Lim was winning the first two rounds with his heavy pressure, but got picked apart by Saffiedine’s technical leg kicks. Magny is that exact type of fighter who will stay true to his game plan and exercise patience, and that will cause Lim a ton of problems. The pick is Magny to win by decision.
