UFC Vegas 44 Betting Preview
We are back after a one week break for UFC Vegas 44. It starts at 630 PM EST this Saturday, streaming live from the Apex in Las Vegas. The card is scheduled for a high volume 15 fights!
This is a sneaky good fight card. Of course it’s always nice when we get a long night of fights, and 15 fights will bring just that. The card is well made and has a solid main event ad co-main event. We should have a good deal of competitiveness, only one fight on the card carries a betting line higher than -255. Only three of 15 fights sit above -190.
Quick Recap
On the last UFC Vegas 43 card, our fighters went 2-1 and our plays went 1-2. Rani Yahya easily out grappled Kyung Ho Kang for a decision win. Miesha Tate lost a close fight to Ketlen Vieira. Adrian Yanez did get the win against Davey Grant, but the elite boxer did not notch a KO. I was over aggressive on the ITD play on that one. We will be looking to go back to the months long winning streak where losing fighters simply did not get picked.
On this card, we are going to have a plethora of betting plays. More plays than are ever expected on any UFC card. We are going to have nine betting plays in total. Five from the main card, including both the main event and co-main event. The other four will come on the prelim portion of the card. Because of the amount of plays, I am going to have to alter the format for this week. I usually post a dedicated piece for each betting pick, but time is simply not allowing for that this week. There will be two separate pieces linked below. One is for the prelims bets and the other is for the main card bets.
I don’t know if the week off made me more eager for action, but it does not feel that way. Believe me, I legitimately have tried to narrow the plays and have failed in doing so. I feel solid about each and every play, so maybe fail is the wrong word to use. In any event, we will have not shortage of action.
Now on to our betting picks. We will have nine UFC Betting Picks for this card.
