Orion Cosce vs Blood Diamon Fight Odds
Orion Cosce -175 vs Blood Diamond
Fight is at 170 lbs and is -300 to end inside the distance.
Blood Diamond, otherwise named Mike Mathetha, will make his second walk to the octagon. The first trip was unsuccessful, and the fun named fighter is going to have to show vast improvement if this trip is to be any different. Blood Diamond has recently turned 34 years old and has just four MMA fights in total under his belt. His initial debut in the UFC was originally scheduled to be against Cosce. Both fighters will get another chance at that fight. Everything we have seen thus far from Blood Diamond is not at the level of a fighter on the UFC roster that is expected to notch wins. He managed just one significant strike before being finished in his debut, and can only move up from there. That said, this is not a fighter I expect to notch any UFC wins nor to hold a spot on the roster.

Orion Cosce will make his second octagon walk, third if we are counting DWCS. Cosce was also finished in his debut, but it was a totally different showing than that of Blood Diamond’s. Cosce is a wrestler and notched multiple takedowns and over six minutes of control time in his fight. He also had a finish on DWCS and was a perfect 7-0 leading into his debut fight. Despite having the experience edge, Cosce is also significantly younger. He just turned 28, taking a year youth advantage with him to the cage.
Cosce’s wrestling will be the story of this fight from the onset. I do not expect to see any high level striking from either side. Cosce will likely do good work against the cage and control on the mat for the vast majority of this fight. Remember, there is not a whole lot to go on in terms of judging the quality of Blood Diamond, but I am confident enough to say he is soundly beaten once again. I would have expected a larger betting line in his second fight, and am pleasantly surprised to see it costs less than 2:1 to make the bet against him. I do think Cosce has finishing upside, but sticking with the -175 flat line.
Betting Pick: Cosce -175
