UFC Fight Night: Andrade vs Blanchfield
What’s up fight fans?
UFC 284 was everything we expected it to be as the fights lived up and the crowd’s energy was like none other.
We did cash in one ticket as our much-anticipated main event did hit the scorecards at plus odds.
This week we're back to break down some more fights and capitalize on the winning tickets, so let's get into it
Jessica Andrade vs Erin Blanchfield
Last-minute replacement fights have been unexpectedly fun to watch lately and we've got another similar main event lined up this week.
When Taila Santos was out with injury fellow Brazilian Jessica Andrade grabbed the opportunity to fight the UFC's latest undefeated hungry contender, Erin Blanchfield.
Former UFC champion Jessica Andrade has been proving that she is still one of the best in the game through her hunger to fight and willpower to make improvements at this stage in her career.
Andrade has fought and beaten elite competition in Rose Namajunas, Katlyn Chookagian, Amanda Lemos, etc.
She showcased her improved technical striking credentials in her last outing against Lauren Murphy which makes her a force to be reckoned with.
This week she takes on the hype train in Erin Blanchfield who has been on an impressive 4 fight win streak in the UFC.
She has beaten good contenders like Miranda Maverick and Molly McCann but this week she takes a big step-up in competition to challenge a former champion.
Erin is a great wrestler who has been able to impose her game on every opponent so far but this week she faces Andrade who has a good ground game of her own.
Best Bets
Our first bet comes on a prelim bout between OSP (Ovince Saint Preux) & Philipe Lins.
OSP has reached the end of his career, but he still looks game and good enough to hang in with low-level competition.
This week he is placed in a winnable fight against Lins who has looked below average in his UFC stint.
OSP has a decent striking and a diverse submission game so at near 3/1 we like the veteran's chances here.
Our next bet is on an explosive Lightweight fight between Jim Miller and Alexander Hernandez.
Miller has been letting his hands go late in his career and pushing for the finish on the feet in addition to his already impressive ground game.
He faces Hernandez who has taken this on short notice and will look for a quick finish too.
We like this one to end inside the first 7.5 minutes given the finishing ability on both corners.
Our final pick is on our main event between top Flyweights Jessica Andrade and Erin Blanchfield.
We've got power & experience on one side and elite grappling skills on the other side.
We like this one to go the distance at this price considering over 60% of Women's flyweight fights hit the scorecards.
Erin is fresh in the game having taken no damage and Andrade has elite ground skills of her own, so we think it will be a competitive fight that does not result inside 25 minutes.
