Best Bets for Dariush vs Moicano: ML, O/U Picks

Renato Moicano by KO (+375)

One of the bigger punchers in the UFC is Moicano, and his power often goes under the radar.

The 35-year-old scored a TKO win over Benoit Saint-Denis in September, which followed a knockout win over Jalin Turner, per UFC betting trends. We think he’s good enough to send Dariush to the Octagon canvas and bettors get value odds for a KO win.

UFC 311 odds have Moicano at +375 to win by KO/TKO, and those odds are too good to pass up. We’re not disrespecting the ability of Dariush, but he will need to use his grappling skills to avoid getting knocked out.

That hasn’t been the case for Dariush recently, who was KO’d by Charles Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan last year. Granted, they are two of the best fighters in the division, but it’s not a good look for Dariush.

Saturday night, I will beat the sh*t out of Beneil Dariush,” Moicano said. “It is what it is. I don’t know why people are calling him old because if they call him old, they’re calling me old, because I’m older than him. So don’t call him old.”

Regardless of age, Moicano is trending in the right direction for UFC 311 picks, and we think he will back up his words with a big victory.

Bet: Renato Moicano by KO (+375)

 

Dariush vs Moicano Under 2.5 Rounds

Our MMA betting odds have the total set at 2½ rounds, and we’re including under in our UFC 311 parlay picks.

Given the power Moicano and Dariush have, we can’t see this fight going the distance. Under has been confidently backed into -125, and that’s not surprising. They haven’t gone the distance very often in their recent careers,so it’s the logical pick.

We predict a first or second-round KO at the hands of Moicano. The -125 is a good price to include in parlays, and Moicano in Round 2 pays +650 in UFC prop odds. That’s a much better price for UFC bettors, but it comes with a lot more risk.

We expect the first round to be a back-and-forth encounter, but the big hands will flow in Round 2, and it’s not a bad online betting strategy to back Moicano in Round 1 and 2, so there are good prop betting options for the lightweight fight.

Bet: Dariush vs Moicano Under 2.5 Rounds (-125)
