Gandra vs. Reese Pick, Prediction

Zachary Reese is the first of four projected underdog moneyline edges I show for UFC 329; he's a defensive liability (43% striking defense) and Ryan Gandra is a powerful striker, but I favor Reese's grappling and prefer his potential minute-winning in an extended fight, coming off a split decision loss against Michel Pereira.

The edge on the distance prop, or the Over 1.5 Rounds (+158), correlates to Reese withstanding early damage against Gandra, who has finished six of his nine wins in Round 1.

Reese has plenty of quick finishes himself (7 of 10 pro wins), but I prefer his sustainability if this contest extends and turns sloppy.

I make Reese a slight favorite and would take him at any plus-money price.

Additionally, bet Fight Starts Round 2 to -125, the Over 1.5 Rounds to +150, or take the distance or decision prop to +350.

Lastly, consider betting either Gandra by Decision to +1000, or Reese by Decision to +450, depending upon which side of the fight you prefer.

Zerillo's Picks: Fight Starts Round 2 (-104, 0.25u), BetRivers; bet to -125, Zachary Reese (+122, 0.25u), Polymarket; bet to +100
