Justin Gaethje lands a heavy uppercut on “Iron” Michael Chandler Zuffa LLCUFC 274 predictions
Charles Oliveira vs. Justin Gaethje prediction
Saturday’s lightweight title fight should be extremely entertaining for its entire duration. Gaethje is going to be hunting for that knockout blow early and often, whereas Oliveira is likely the most dynamic submission grappler we have seen in UFC history.
Gaethje to win by KO/TKO in Round 1 is a solid bet at +650. I’d also be interested in Oliveira to win by submission in rounds 1 or 2 +230. All are available on FanDuel.
However, my official prediction for Charles Oliviera vs. Justin Gaethje is the under 2.5 rounds prop -148 on PointsBet Sportsbook.
Carla Esparza vs. Rose Namajunas prediction
“Thug” Rose Namajunas has actually fought Esparza and lost in her UFC debut. This is sort of a revenge fight for Namajunas, who has become a significantly stronger striker recently. I’ll take Namajunas to win this one by KO/TKO.
Rose Namajunas wins by KO/TKO in rounds 2,3, or 4 +750 (FanDuel Sportsbook)
Michael Chandler vs. Tony Ferguson prediction
Two veteran fighters will go to battle when Michael Chandler takes on Tony Ferguson. Ferguson has taken a lot of damage in his career from his last fight against Beniel Dariush to his wars with Anthony Pettis and even Justin Gaethje.
Chandler is a big favorite, showcased by the odds you see in the section above. This could be the fight that Ferguson finally crumbles and gets finished. However, his cardio is his best asset. I think Chandler actually plays this one slowly and this fight goes to a decision.
Fight goes to decision +165 (Caesars Sportsbook)
