UFC Vegas 39 Betting Preview
UFC Vegas 39 comes on Saturday at 1PM EST from the Apex in Vegas. This card has lost some fights and was a lower level fight night card to begin with. We are now down to just 10 fights, headlined by strawweights Mackenzie Dern and Marina Rodriguez. After that, from the co-main event on down, we are lacking star power and draw.
Dern vs Rodriguez Betting Preview
The main event is the ultimate striker vs grappler matchup. The strength of each fighter is also the weakness of their opponent. Marina Rodriguez is an elite striker that has occasional difficulty on the mat. Mackenzie Dern is a world class BJJ fighter that still has work to do on her striking.
The key for the fight will be Dern’s ability to get the fight to the mat and Rodriguez ability to keep that from happening. Dern will cut through Rodriguez on the mat while Rodriguez will light up Dern in the stand up. Rodriguez has already vanquished a similar fighter in Amanda Ribas, who is arguably a better striker than Dern is with similar chops on the floor.
If looking for action on this fight, the fight ends ITD line at -250 is somewhat attractive. The +300 ITD line on Rodriguez is the one that offers the most value. If Rodriguez is able to keep upright, it is difficult to see Dern lasting 25 minutes on the feet.
