Leg #1. Nathaniel Wood (+130 at DK Sportsbook)
This lightweight bout between two relative unknowns could be one of the sneaky good fights on this card between two fighters who love to stand and strike; when their opponent obliges. With both fighters having 7+ fights inside the UFC, the cat is largely out of the bag in terms of who these fighters are, with their metrics largely solidified.
With that, I think Wood’s 3x edge in significant strikes landed volume is one worth putting stock into, as are his edges on the ground. I think the wrong guy is favored here.
Leg #2. Joaquin Buckley (+215 at DK Sportsbook)
This middleweight clash between two guys with one-punch power has the potential for fireworks, as both have shown a desire to stand and swing in the past. For Buckley, eight of his last nine fights have gone by way of KO/TKO, all within 2.5 rounds.
Imavov, on the other hand, has finished giving seven inside of the distance, all inside of two rounds. While Imavov is the more highly touted fighter currently ranked #12 in the division, I have this one much closer to even on paper than the odds suggest.
With the power and more in more in-depth experience favoring Buckley, I like his chances in this fight and can see a path for him to get the job done before this one is all said and done.
Leg #3. Tai Tuivasa (+410 at DK Sportsbook)
Despite all signs, including implied probability pointing towards the hometown favorite in this one, something tells me Tuivasa might have something to say about that. A fault of Gane’s game, in my opinion, has long been his willingness to let fights drag on, something he’s thus far largely been able to get away with.
Now facing a fighter in his prime in Tuivasa with the power to put his lights out, Gane must be careful in letting this one go too deep. While Gane likely gets there if he can take it to the ground, these long odds on Bam Bam are too good to pass on.
