Harry’s UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Volkov Betting Predictions
What: UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Volkov
Where: Las Vegas, Nevada
When: Saturday, June 20
Despite some sports having issues starting up like Major League Baseball, the UFC just keeps rolling along with what seems to be a decent card every week. Last week I gave out another profitable performance going 6-3 in all of my picks. I was 3-0 in totals and my best play of the night, Marvin Vettori, was an easy winner over Karl Roberson.
This week there are plenty of exciting matches such as Alexander Volkov (31-7) taking on Curtis Blaydes (13-2). Blaydes has impressive wins over Junior Dos Santos and Alistair Overeem to his credit. Here is my list of plays for UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Volkov, and hopefully I can continue to make people money by giving out solid information and fantastic picks.
Harry’s UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Volkov Best Bet
-360 Curtis Blaydes
+280 Alexander Volkov
I mentioned above that Blaydes has some seriously high-quality wins, and he is an up-and-comer, having won seven of his last eight bouts.
Harry’s Best Bet of UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Volkov: Blaydes
Harry’s “Fishy Line” of the Week
-140 Raquel Pennington
+110 Marion Reneau
Pennington is a -140 favorite despite having an average 10-9 record and has been a loser in three of her last four fights. This line makes you want to take the underdog Reneau (although she is 3-4-1 in her last eight fights) and that is why you cannot do it; I’ll still lay the price with Pennington.
Harry’s UFC Betting Prediction: Pennington
-135 Shane Burgos
+105 Josh Emmett
It is hard for me not to jump on the fighter that has a 5.5-inch reach advantage and is five inches taller than his opponent. That scenario fits Burgos here and I’m all over him.
Harry’s UFC Pick: Burgos
-120 Gillian Robertson
-110 Courtney Casey
Casey was awesome in her last fight against Mara Romero Borella, and forced her to submit in the first round. In this bout, Casey has a couple inches on Robertson and an almost 5-inch reach advantage.
Harry’s Pick: Casey
The Rest of Harry’s UFC Betting Predictions for UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Volkov
-200 Brianna Van Buren
+185 Tecia Torres
Brianna “The Bull” stands at only 5 feet tall but still has a two-inch reach advantage on Torres. Van Buren also has a six-fight winning streak coming into this fight.
The Pick: Van Buren
-135 Oskar Piechota
+105 Marc-Andre Barriault
Both fighters come into this bout losers of three straight fights. When this happens and there is no fan support for either side, I cannot make a pick here and will choose to pass.
Harry’s Play: No Play… Hard Pass
-115 Matt Frevola
-115 Frank Camacho
Camacho has struggled of late going just 1-3 in his last four fights. Frevola on the other hand has had a nice start to his career going 8-1-1 in 10 professional bouts.
Harry’s UFC Bet: Frevola
-170 Joe Solecki
+140 Austin Hubbard
Solecki is 9-2 but I like Hubbard as a +140 underdog. Hubbard comes in hot winning his last four fights, including two by submission.
Harry’s Pick: Hubbard
-230 Bobby Cereen
+185 Clay Guida
Guida is a UFC journeyman with an immense record of 35-16 and hasn’t fought since early August of last year. He has lost by either submission or TKO in his last six losses. Cereen has three inches on Guida and this could and should be done early.
Harry’s Pick: Cereen
-240 Roosevelt Roberts
+195 Jim Miller
Roosevelt “The Predator” Roberts is 10-1 with eight of his wins coming by TKO or submission. He also has four inches on Miller and a 2-inch reach advantage. This is another fight I expect to be done early on.
Harry’s Second-Best Bet of UFC Fight Night: Roberts
You can catch all these fights on ESPN on Saturday night from the APEX in Las Vegas. Stay safe everyone, and let’s all watch and enjoy another solid card put together by Dana White and the UFC nation. Happy Betting !!!
