UFC 324 Underdog Bets

Alex Perez to Defeat Charles Johnson (+145)

I won’t be at all surprised if Johnson wins this, but Perez has only lost to the very best flyweights in the UFC. At plus money, I’d be willing to take a risk and see if the perennially top-ranked contender still has enough left in the tank to stifle Johnson’s climb towards title contention.

Arnold Allen to Defeat Jean Silva (+200)

Similar to Perez, Allen only has two UFC losses on his record, and those came at the hands of undefeated contender Movsar Evloev and former featherweight titleholder Max Holloway. He’s also never been finished, and Silva’s victories have typically come inside the distance.

UFC 324 Prop Bets

Sean O’Malley to Defeat Song Yadong via Unanimous Decision (+140)

O’Malley has the length and striking skill necessary to piece Yadong up on the feet in this fight, but “Kung Fu Kid” has proved to be incredibly durable during his career and should be able to make it to the judges’ scorecards.

Modestas Bukauskas to Defeat Nikita Krylov via KO/TKO/DQ in Round 1 (+250)

I noted in my prelim predictions for UFC 324 that Bukauskas doesn’t have quite the same one-punch knockout power as someone like Dominick Reyes, but the Lithuanian does hit hard enough to get an early finish here if Krylov’s chin is compromised at this late stage of his career following back-to-back knockout losses.

Derrick Lewis to Defeat Waldo Cortes-Acosta via KO/TKO/DQ (+380)

I’ve already picked Cortes-Acosta to win this fight and do think he should be favored here, but it’s hard to look past nearly 4-1 odds for the UFC’s all-time knockout leader to connect with something big and score the upset.
