UFC Picks

UFC oddsmakers believe that we are in for a very competitive main event on Saturday, as Hernandez is listed as just a slight favorite in MMA odds. Pereira is an exciting fighter who has big time power. He comes into this fight having won his last eight bouts, although the level of competition hasn’t been that great except for the win against Santiago Ponzinibbio, at welterweight a couple of years ago. Pereira has proven he can finish fights with finishes in 20 of his 31 wins. The problem for Pereira has been when opponents find a way to get the fight into the latter stages, as Pereira oftentimes wears down.

Hernandez is on a nice roll of his own, winning his last five fights. He is strong on the mat and seems likely to try for an early takedown of Pereira in this fight. Hernandez is very deliberate in his approach so he will look for a mistake by Pereira and pounce.

The longer this fight goes the more Hernandez will have the advantage. The question is whether or not he can be patient enough and wait out Pereira. The early part of this fight will likely decide which way this fight goes. Pereira is going to be going all out early looking for a finish, while Hernandez will be looking to avoid making a big mistake. If the fight goes as expected then Pereira would win a fight that is decided early, while Hernandez would win a fight that goes the distance. I think you could have a couple of UFC betting parlays and take Pereira to win by finish in one parlay and take Hernandez to win by decision in the other. If either of those two things happen it will be a profitable outcome in UFC betting.
