Within each UFC card, there are always hidden prop gems. Sometimes it’s as simple as the OVER/UNDER on rounds, or a fighter winning by submission. Either way, our job is to identify the best UFC prop bets on the market so we can rake in the cash together.
This Saturday, we've got a UFC Fight Night event highlighted by Song Yadong and Chris Gutierrez.
UFC Prop Bets: Song vs Gutierrez
We've scoured the odds for prop bets for UFC Fight Night: Song vs Gutierrez. Here are our three best prop wagers for this card.
Song to win by decision (+180)
Song is the more physically gifted fighter. He's powerful, athletic, and possesses stellar takedown defense. Gutierrez might be able to chop Song's legs to limit the offense, but "Kung Fu Kid" should lead the dance. That said, Gutierrez is incredibly durable — he's been stopped just once in 26 fights — which leads me to bet Song by decision.
Anthony Smith by decision (+750)
I get it, Khalil Rountree is vicious, but Smith has tangled with way tougher opponents. And although "Lionheart" is on the back nine of his career, he's not an instant can to crush. Smith's last two fights have gone the distance, and he weathered Johnny Walker's advances for 15 minutes earlier this year.
Bet this fight to go the distance at +300, but I love a longshot wager on Smith by decision at +750.
Tatsuro Taira By Submission (+120)
The Japanese flyweight has done quite well in his early UFC action, storming to a 4-0 record with two submissions. His opponent Saturday, Carlos Hernandez, lost by rear-naked choke recently and could easily be Taira's next victim. At plus-money, I'll bet on Taira's best asset: his submission game.
