UFC 280 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Best Longshot Bets (10/22)

Katlyn Chookagian vs. Manon Fiorot

We have what should be a great women’s flyweight bout on the main card between Katlyn Chookagian and Manon Fiorot. These fighters will almost certainly keep this fight standing as they are both high-volume strikers.

With that in mind, the advantage resides with Fiorot. In the UFC, she has landed more strikes per minute than Chookagian (6.60 to 4.56), landed at a higher accuracy (45% to 35%), absorbed fewer strikes per minute (2.52 to 4.26), and defended at a higher accuracy (70% to 63%).

Undefeated since entering the UFC, Fiorot is 4-0 with two knockouts. Of her nine professional wins, six have come via knockout.

Meanwhile, each of Chookagian’s last two losses has come via knockout. While those losses were to Jessica Andrade and Valentina Shevcehnko, Fiorot is climbing the rankings as she is making her case to fight Shevchenko for the belt.

Look for her to make that statement in a vicious fashion on Saturday.

Pick: Manon Fiorot to Win via KO/TKO (+490)

Best of luck!
