And just like that, we have reached the end of the UFC calendar year as just one fight card remains in 2022. It’s been a highly profitable year for your UFC picks and predictions, as we are hovering around the 60% mark with over 27 units of profit in total.
However, the job is not done as we turn our attention to UFC Fight Night: Cannonier vs. Strickland for what should be a terrific afternoon of fights. Let’s take a closer look at a few prop bets I’m on for the action.
- UFC Fight Night Odds, Picks & Predictions: Arman Tsarukyan vs. Damir Ismagulov (2022)
- UFC Fight Night Odds, Picks & Predictions: Jared Cannonier vs. Sean Strickland (2022)

Drew Dober (24-11-0) vs. Bobby Green (29-13-1)
This number has significantly shifted in favor of Dober since it began as a pick-em, and I disagree entirely with the market on this. I appreciate the Dober love, but I’m fading it in favor of a fighter in Green, who I believe is underrated after going three rounds (losses) with Islam Makhachev and Brad Riddell before defeating Terrance McKinney and Rafael Alves.
Although Green just lost to Makhachev in February, shortly before he won the belt, he still has the advantage in this contest on all fronts. Though Green’s strongest edges are noticeable on the ground, nobody anticipates that these two will do anything other than stand and swing.
But given that time is running out for a genuine run in the division and that both fighters are on the wrong side of 34, I anticipate a more cautious approach, especially from Dober, and for Green to take advantage. Give me the longer and sharper Green if they decide to stand and throw till the lights go out.
Bet: Bobby Green – To Win By KO/TKO/DQ (+800)
Jared Cannonier (15-6-0) vs. Sean Strickland (25-4-0)
I think two guys more known recently for going the distance in their fights are causing an overreaction in the market. For Cannonier, 80% of his wins inside the UFC have come inside of the distance, and after his latest loss to Izzy, expect him to be eager to show he still belongs near the top of this division.
Strickland also has a propensity for violence despite his run of recent decisions. With his average fight time just shy of 2.7 rounds, this five-round fight will be one of the few in his career.
Look for one of these high-level strikers to walk out of the octagon early and victorious.
Bet: Under 4.5 Rounds (+105)
