UFC Vegas 50 Betting Tips

UFC Vegas 50
Ankalaev
VS
Santos

This is a smaller betting card for us this week as the prelims in particular doesnt offer a heap of betting value. We have a few nice spots to attack on the main card but next weeks UFC London offers up a much better betting card.

Alex Caceres VS Sodiq Yusuff

Sodiq Yusuff by Points - Stake 1.5 Units, Minimum Odds 2.4, Best Book - Pointsbet

We have 2 fighters here who are going to go in opposite ways in their careers. Caceres is coming off a 5 fight win streak against mostly lower-level competition and it looks as though his career has likely peaked. Yusuff is coming off a loss to a strong prospect in Arnold Allen but still has shown a lot in the cage. Yusuff will be coming out and striking harder and landing the more damaging blows in the cage against Caceres who has shown his durability in the past. The key in this fight will be Yusuffs counter striking. Caceres throws a lot of kicks but leaves himself open to be countered each time he does this. Yusuff will get his career back on track here.

Marlon Moraes VS Yadong Song

Yadong Song by KO/TKO - Stake 1.5 Units, Minimum Odds 1.9, Best Book - Pointsbet

Marlon Moraes has tangled with some of the best fighters in the division, however he has one win condition followed by a massive way to lose. Moraes always comes out guns blazing, throwing big shots and trying to get his opposition out of the cage early. If 2Moraes doesnt get the early win, his gas tank completly drains in about 3 minutes then hes a sitting duck until he is put away. Song has shown brilliant things in the cage, including vicious KO power and a granite chin that will allow him to take Moraes best shots. Song will likely lose the first round, but his dominant forward pressure will be enough to finish the fight shortly after this.

Magomed Ankalaev VS Thiago Santos

Magomed Ankalaev by KO/TKO - Stake 1.5 Units, Minimum Odds 2.0, Best Book - Lads/Neds

Not a lot needs to be said here, Santos is a 38-year-old fighter on the decline after both of his knees have been reconstructed. Ankalaev is currently racking up wins on his way to a title shot that I can’t really see him losing. Ankalaev has a flawless stand-up game and uses his body weight to pin his opponents and transition position when on the mat. Ankalaev should have no problem dealing with Santos here, and a dominant KO win will put him really close to the title picture.
