Shahbazyan vs. Ferreira Pick, Prediction
One of the more exciting matchups on the night is the middleweight tilt between Brunno Ferreira and Edmen Shahbazyan.
What strikes me most about this matchup is how similar both fighters are: each has an exact 60% win rate in the UFC, with dangerous stoppage ability but questionable defense and chin. I laid out the case for why this fight is essentially a coin flip in our latest UFC betting preview podcast:
You can check out the video linked above for slightly more in-depth thoughts, but this is a fight where I'd be more than happy to bet either man at plus money. That means Ferreira this time, with the +150 at DraftKings being his best odds.
As an additional lean, I believe Shahbazyan winning correlates well with the over (and vice versa), so an SGP of Shahbazyan and over or Ferreira and under would make sense as well.
Billy's Picks:
- Ferreira +150 (DraftKings)
