My top play on this card (Dong Hyun Kim over Gouti) was disappointingly just taken off this card due to a Gouti illness which really sucks, but this card still has a lot of great value.
How I Bet UFC
I straight bet the dogs and moderate favorites (juice -150 and under) and parlay the favorites with juice over -200. For example a Cutelaba/Hooker parlay which will be one of my plays pays +132.
Ultimately its up to you as the sports bettor to decide how you want to wager but these are my picks (in order of confidence)
UFC Fight Night 110 Card
Mizuto Hirota +455
Ion Cutelaba -280
Dan Hooker – 140
Derrick Lewis -145
Kiichi Kunimoto +300
Hirota +455
Mizuto Hirota is veteran who has over 25 professional fights under his belt. He has a great takedowns game and a very technical top game. On the feet, Hirota doesn’t have great striking, but he has a solid chin that keeps him in his fights.
Hirota opened at +220 and is now +455 which is tremendous value. The veteran Hirota is a big step up for Volkan vs. the regional fighters he has faced so far in his career. Given the style of fighting from both fighters, this fight is bound to hit the ground where I think Hirota gets the submission.
Ion Cutelaba -280
I don’t see how Cutelaba loses this fight. Cutelaba is a beast and we’ve seen da Silva get battered before by his previous opponents. Cutelaba has shown a ridiculous ability to take damage and is too strong to let da Silva’s grappling game give him problems. Cutelaba has incredible cardio and you can’t say the same for da Silva. This will be a fight that goes into Cutelaba’s highlight real.
