UFC Vegas 88 odds: Latest betting lines and gambling guide | Tuivasa vs. Tybura

The countdown to UFC 300 kicks off this weekend (Sat., March 16, 2024) inside UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada, the place Tai Tuivasa battles Marcin Tybura within the newest “Battle Night time”-themed foremost occasion. UFC Vegas 88 may also see The Final Fighter (TUF) 29 winner, Bryan Battle, sq. off with Contender Sequence veteran, Ange Loosa, whereas Kennedy Nzechukwu tries to ship Ovince Saint Preux packing for good and undefeated Featherweight, Isaac Dulgarian, throws down with Christian Rodriguez.

It’ll be awhile earlier than the subsequent pay-per-view (PPV), however that simply means extra time to construct a nest egg. Right here’s how …

What Went Mistaken at UFC 299?

Josh Parisian

Sprinting instantly after Robelis Despaigne along with his chin within the air was the dumbest transfer he might have performed (see it), however frankly I ought to have anticipated that from him. That’s on me.

Katlyn Cerminara

She had the clear edge at vary that I anticipated, however was approach too desperate to play Barber’s sport. Although Barber did do a greater job of forcing the clinch because the rounds glided by, Cerminara’s willingness to oblige her was surprising and self-defeating.

Gilbert Burns

Man, two extra minutes of high management would have performed it. Props to Jack Della Maddalena, who fought an amazing battle and got here up clutch (even with a damaged wing), however I really feel like Burns might have made that battle a lot simpler on himself if he’d compelled the wrestling extra.

Kevin Holland

I’m nonetheless not precisely positive what his plan was. He appeared like he was barely making an attempt to wrestle and by no means adjusted to Michael Web page throwing the identical overhand proper at his face time and again. That stated, anticipating some sort of plan from Holland was, on reflection, very dumb on my half.

Benoit Saint-Denis

I believe I may be forgiven for assuming he wouldn’t enter the cage with a staph an infection.

What Went Proper?

Asu Almabayev, Michel Pereira and Kyler Phillips

Pure dominance all through. Properly performed to all three.

Curtis Blaydes

I imply, I’m not going to faux that’s how I noticed it going (watch it), however no matter works, proper?

Petr Yan

It wouldn’t be a Yan battle if he didn’t give away the primary spherical, however the remaining was classic “No Mercy.” Glad to have him again.

Mateuz Gamrot

It additionally wouldn’t be a Gamrot battle if he didn’t undergo the goofiest knockdown conceivable. As soon as he bought into gear, although, “Gamer” regarded lots sharp.

UFC Vegas 88 Odds For The Underneath Card:

Mike Davis (-305) vs. Natan Levy (+245)

Davis’ inactivity is a priority, however he’s higher than Levy in just about each space save kicks. Levy has but to look good within the Octagon, giving up rounds even in wins over bottom-tier Lightweights Mike Breeden and Genaro Valdez. Davis’ boxing blows Levy’s out of the water and his wrestling ought to be greater than ample to maintain it in his wheelhouse.

Josiane Nunes (-155) vs. Chelsea Chandler (+130)

Look, I like watching Nunes hurl eight-dozen overhand lefts in quarter-hour, however she’s not what you’d name a very good fighter. Living proof: the three girls she beat within the Octagon are actually a mixed 2-8 in UFC. That’s not sufficient to persuade me that she beats Chandler, a considerably bigger lady with actual energy and a nasty high sport as well. Hammer that Chandler undercard line.

Jafel Filho (-190) vs. Ode Osbourne (+150)

We simply watched Osbourne get torched on the mat by Asu Almabayev. And whereas FIlho isn’t that stage of wrestler, he’s shut sufficient to it to be value a glance. Osbourne’s additionally woefully inconsistent and susceptible to fading, whereas Filho confirmed terrific grit in opposition to Daniel Barez final day trip. Strive a average guess on “Pastor.”

Josh Culibao (-192) vs. Danny Silva (+160)

I like Silva because the underdog right here. As hittable as he’s, he’s additionally exponentially busier than Culibao, touchdown extra important strikes in a single Contender Sequence battle than Culiabo has in his total Octagon profession. We’ve seen Culibao wilt previously, so put some down on Silva.

Cory McKenna (-125) vs. Jaqueline Amorim (+105)

Amorim’s historical past of cardio points make it too dangerous to guess all of it on her, however she’s nonetheless value a glance. McKenna’s solely actual standout ability is her high management, however Amorim’s Brazilian jiu-jitsu pedigree outstrips “Poppins’” by a big margin and he or she’s a stable wrestler as well. Amorim additionally hits approach more durable than McKenna and has practically 10 inches of attain on her.

Charalampos Grigoriou (-166) vs. Chad Anheliger (+140)

Small guess on Anheliger because the underdog. Outdoors of that blitz on Contender Sequence, Grigoriou’s latest efforts haven’t impressed me, and the sturdy Anheliger is provided to take advantage of each Grigoriou’s cardio points and tendency to depart his chin unprotected as he lunges in.

UFC Vegas 88 Odds For The Primary Card:

Tai Tuivasa (-125) vs. Marcin Tybura (+105)

Skip it. Both Tuivasa blows him away inside two minutes or Tybura grinds him to mud and each appear equally possible from the place I’m sitting.

Bryan Battle (-175) vs. Ange Loosa (+145)

Loosa has regarded sharp sufficient of late that this feels too risky.

Kennedy Nzechukwu (-535) vs. Ovince Saint Preux (+380)

I imply, would possibly as effectively slap Nzechukwu right into a parlay. At this level in Saint Preux’s profession, his solely significant expertise are being a tall, rangy, awkward southpaw. Nzechukwu is a taller, rangier, extra awkward southpaw who’s additionally 9 years youthful and throws far more punches.

Isaac Dulgarian (-198) vs. Christian Rodriguez (+164)

Put a bit down on Dulgarian. The final time Rodriguez fought somebody his dimension versus blowing weight and bullying Bantamweights, Jonathan Pearce completely smothered him. Dulgarian is provided to do the identical, however he’s additionally unproven previous the primary spherical, so don’t go nuts.

Macy Chiasson (-218) vs. Pannie Kianzad (+180)

Each of those girls are too inconsistent to benefit a guess.

Gerald Meerschaert (-238) vs. Bryan Barberena (+195)

Meerschaert has had extra downs than ups these days, however going toe-to-toe with Andre Petroski for 3 rounds is far more spectacular than getting dropped twice and brought down 13 instances by Makhmud Muradov. Barberena is usually shot, painfully undersized for 185 kilos, and solely has one end within the final 5.5 years. I’m with “GM3.”
