UFC 278 Props: Squash Fights Galore

BetUS Advertisement BetUS Advertisement

The last time we did a props piece, we focused on some stunning upsets and cashed on two big bets. This time around, we’re going the other way: squash fights. UFC 278 is a chalk bettors’ dream as half the card features lopsided matchups per the UFC betting odds. Instead of betting the barn on these big favorites, take to the prop bet market instead.

Let’s check the latest UFC news, stats, injury reports, and UFC odds for UFC 278. We’ve plenty of UFC picks and predictions for you to consider.

UFC 278: Usman vs Edwards 2 Props

Maverick Taps Young Again

In this unofficial rematch, Miranda Maverick (10-4-0) should once again outgrapple Shanna Young (8-4-0). Maverick took her back and submitted her in Invicta. She has a sizable grappling edge and Young, despite pulling off an upset in her last fight, is in the UFC to make fighters like Maverick look good. A round 1 submission win for Maverick is at +375 and also worth a bet online.

Pick: M Maverick By KO, TKO, DQ or Submission +110

Woodson Puts On A Show Against Saldana

After briefly getting derailed, Sean Woodson (9-1-0) is quickly picking up steam again. He’s got a tailor-made matchup against Luis Saldana (16-7-0). The two can make for a “Fight of the Night” because they throw down. Woodson has a pinpoint striking, hence his moniker of “Sniper”, while Saldana keeps his hands too low. The favorite will tee up on Saldana and knock him out at some point.

Pick: S Woodson By KO, TKO, DQ, or Submission +160

Pedro Annihilates Hansucker

The UFC wants to Tyson Pedro (8-3-0) to get back in the contenders’ circle so they offer Harry Hansucker’s (7-5-0) head on a plate. Pedro should blitz through Hansucker and hand him his sixth first-round knockout loss. At -800, Pedro is the largest favorite on the card. This prop is the best UFC bet for this squash fight.

Pick: T Pedro By KO/TKO/DQ and Round 1 -145

Romanov Puts Tybura Away Late

Alexandr Romanov (16-0-0) has slowly been crushing the opponents the UFC has thrown at him. Marcin Tybura (22-7-0) is his best opponent to date but also one he should manhandle. The Romanian has some bear-like strength and is one of the better wrestlers in the division.

Tybura may have some decent takedown defense, but Romanov will relentlessly keep at it. He’s averaging 6.46 takedowns per 15 minutes at a 69% clip. At some point, he’ll break Tybura and bash him on the mat until the referee jumps in. The online sportsbook pays 10-1 for him to do it in the third. That’s worth a dart throw.

Pick: A Romanov By KO/TKO/DQ and Round 3 +1000

Costa Blasts Through Rockhold

Luke Rockhold (16-5-0) is back and is throwing some haymakers via his mouth. Unfortunately for him, the only punches that will count are the ones in the octagon. A fighter with three knockout losses in his last four fights shouldn’t be talking trash. Rockhold is also coming from a three-year layoff.

Paulo Costa (13-2-0) may be on a two-fight skid, but this is the perfect fight for him. Even if he starts a bit slow and takes time to find his range, he could just flatten Rockhold with the first clean punch he lands. At nearly double your wager, bet on Costa to dust Rockhold in the first round.

Pick: P Costa By KO/TKO/DQ and Round 1 +185

Paolo Go

As a long-time Toronto Raptors and Buffalo Bills fan, Go Paolo knows that every dog gets its day. Paolo fancies himself as an underdog in the sports betting world as he does not come from a traditional sports background. He did not become a hardcore sports fan until his freshman days in college studying Mass Media and Communications. While he played basketball and trained in martial arts, Paolo sees himself more as a nerd who cut his teeth in sports analysis by dropping truth bombs and stone-cold facts against crazed fans from online message boards. It was here he caught the attention of several sports journalists and website owners who gave him his start as a sportswriter. He has since published with the likes of Sportsnet and FanSided and has been writing about sports betting for over five years. Paolo is thrilled to continue covering sports and cannot wait to unearth more underdogs and unconventional winners.
