Malott vs. Radtke Pick
Charles "Chuck Buffalo" Radtke is my lone underdog selection for UFC 315 against "Proper" Mike Malott, who has shown significant cardio concerns when he's unable to finish opponents early.
Malott is the bigger man (1" taller, 4" reach advantage) and likely the better wrestler of the pair, but Radtke is a more than capable jiu-jitsu black belt who regularly competes in grappling competitions and is also the more effective offensive striker.
Radtke is often overly aggressive in MMA fights, and I'd expect Malott to land a takedown and gain top position early; still, if Radtke survives that initial exchange, I favor him to win each round increasingly as the fight extends.
I'd bet Radtke pre-fight down to +140 (projected +127), but you might find the best number on the underdog in the live market after Round 1.
Additionally, I project value on Radtke to win by KO/TKO (projected +234, listed +340) or inside the distance (projected +195, listed +250), and I'd consider his props to win in Round 2 (+950) or Round 3 (+1500) given the likely cardio dynamic.
