1 best and worst bet at UFC Vegas 95

As a seasoned MMA enthusiast with over two decades of watching blood, sweat, and cheers, I can’t help but feel the adrenaline pumping as UFC Vegas 95 approaches! With its heavyweight main event featuring a rematch between Serghei Spivac and Marcin Tybura, this card promises to be electrifying.

As a longtime fan of mixed martial arts, I’m excited to see the UFC return to Las Vegas this week. After attending events in England and Abu Dhabi, it’s great to have the action back in my own backyard. However, it’s disappointing that several fight cancellations have left Saturday’s UFC Vegas 95 with only ten matchups. As someone who has followed the sport for years, I know how much hard work goes into preparing for a bout, and it’s always a letdown when fights don’t happen as planned. Still, I’m looking forward to seeing the rematch in the opening bout and main event, and I hope that the fighters put on a great show for the fans.

As a dedicated gamer, I’m eagerly anticipating the main event where I, Serghei Spivac, ranked number nine, aim to climb up one spot against my rival, Marcin Tybura, currently at number eight. We’ve crossed paths before at UFC on ESPN+ 27 back in February 2020, and he managed to secure a unanimous decision victory over me. This time, I’m determined to turn the tables!

Four years on, Spivac (-160) intends to redeem himself for his earlier loss to Tybura (+135), following a second-round KO/TKO defeat against Ciryl Gane. In the interim, Tybura had a fight in March where he defeated Tai Tuivasa via a first-round submission (rear-naked choke).

Approaching UFC Vegas 95, many enthusiasts may seize the chance to earn some cash through betting. Fortunately, numerous bouts offer attractive odds, but one must be cautious to dodge the tricks set by bookmakers.

As a seasoned sports enthusiast with years of watching UFC matches under my belt, I strongly advise you to carefully ponder over the bet mentioned below and steer clear of the fight that could potentially lead to losses. It’s essential to gamble responsibly while immersing yourself in the electrifying atmosphere of the UFC APEX. Trust me, a little caution goes a long way in making your experience more enjoyable and less stressful.

Best: Danny Barlow by knockout

In September 2023, Danny Barlow squared off with Raheam Forest on Dana White’s Contender Series. This unbeaten welterweight swiftly knocked out Forest in the first round, thereby increasing his professional MMA record to 7-0 and securing him a UFC contract.

Approximately five months after, Barlow stepped into his UFC debut match, extending his knockout/technical knockout sequence by defeating Josh Quinlan in the third round. The 29-year-old, affectionately known as ‘LeftHand2God’, has now secured four straight victories via KO/TKO, with three of these triumphs coming within the first round.

At UFC Vegas 95, Barlow intends to carry forward his positive trajectory as he squares off against Nikolay Veretennikov. A previous participant in Dana White’s Contender Series (who suffered a unanimous decision loss against Michael Morales), this will be Barlow’s first fight under the UFC banner, scheduled for Saturday. He aims to surprise everyone with an upset victory.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but marvel at the unyielding spirit of Veretennikov, often referred to as a “win-or-perish” warrior. Born in Kazakhstan, this Welterweight contender has graced us with the sight of his prowess in just sixteen professional MMA fights, and only four times have we seen him submit to the scorecards. Remarkably, he’s currently on a three-fight winning streak, each victory coming swiftly within the distance, paving the way for his opportunity at UFC Vegas 95.

Most betting websites have not released official odds for Barlow vs. Veretennikov prop bets. With that said, the wager to strongly consider is Barlow by KO/TKO. ‘LeftHand2God’ is one of the best-kept secrets in the welterweight division, especially when it comes to his striking.

Barlow showcases impressive, deadly abilities over the course of three rounds. At 29 years old, he has the potential to exploit Veretennikov’s eagerness to make an impact in his UFC debut and knock him out within the first two rounds. Betting on a KO/TKO before -250 seems advisable for this prop bet.

Worst: Anything on Karl Williams vs. Jhonata Diniz

In September 2022, Karl Williams successfully clinched his UFC contract through Dana White’s Contender Series. Since then, this heavyweight wrestler has garnered recognition among dedicated fans by triumphing in unanimous decision matches against Lukasz Brzeski, Chase Sherman, and Justin Tafa.

So far in his UFC career, Williams has displayed glimpses of greatness, but hasn’t yet delivered a standout performance that solidifies him as a serious title contender. On Saturday night, the 34-year-old will strive for another win by grappling with Jhonata Diniz.

In April, Diniz made his UFC debut, having secured a contract through Dana White’s Contender Series earlier. However, the initial phase of his UFC encounter was challenging, as Austen Lane managed to take him down in the first round and kept him there, which raised concerns given Diniz’s reputation as an accomplished striker in Glory Kickboxing.

In the second round, Diniz took control and knocked out Lane, earning his initial victory in the Octagon. The audience will learn more about what Diniz is capable of on Saturday, as he faces off against Williams, who has demonstrated his ability to use a grappling-focused strategy effectively for the full three rounds.

As per Bovada’s predictions, Williams is considered the favorite for betting at -210, while Diniz stands as a +175 underdog. Some bettors might consider Williams as the obvious pick due to his stylistic edge, but they should exercise caution because this match could potentially ruin a parlay bet.

It’s plausible that Williams could easily overpower Diniz and keep him pinned for fifteen minutes without a break. However, during his UFC debut, Diniz demonstrated remarkable calmness, and he still had energy to spare, even after the dominant grappling battle they had in the first round.

Consequently, Diniz could be eliminated quickly and then score a knockout in rounds two or three. However, spectators should refrain from watching this heavyweight fight to prevent disappointment, as the outcome on Saturday will offer valuable insights for betting on both boxers in future matches.
