UFC Fight Night Predictions & Picks: Saturday, December 14th

Miranda Maverick vs. Jamey-Lyn Horth: Maverick O3.5 Takedowns (+120 at DraftKings)

She needs to get this fight to the ground and while she is a great wrestler she isn’t a great finisher so this should play out over a couple rounds.

This should cash easily even if she doesn’t win the fight, but I expect her to dominate it as more than a -600 favorite.

 

 

 

Vitor Petrino vs. Dustin Jacoby: Petrino O2.5 Takedowns (+100 at DraftKings)

Petrino is similar to Maverick in the fact that he needs takedowns to win the fight.

He doesn’t throw much volume when he gets his opponent down and his submission game isn’t great so he’ll need multiple takedowns to get the win.

Cub Swanson vs. Billy Quarantillo: Quarantillo O83.5 Significant Strikes (-115 at DraftKings)

BillyQ isn’t someone who can knock out someone with a few strikes, he needs to put in work over three rounds.

The gloves they are using for this card are the “new” gloves that were causing less KO’s so I expect this fight to get into at least the third round and this is a number that Billy can hit in 2 rounds if he is on his game.
