The basics of sports betting are pretty straight forward. In a game between for example two NFL teams you place a bet on the Home or Away team to win the game.

There are several more complex types of sports betting preferred by the more experienced sports gambler.

UFC Vegas 26 - Marina Rodriguez vs Michelle Waterson

Rodriguez ITD

+275

As I mentioned in the intro, this fight is not necessarily one that deserves main event booking, but it is a quality fight nonetheless. Michelle Waterson is no stranger to a main event, while Marina Rodriguez will get the spotlight for the first time. It should be noted this is a matchup of strawweights, but due to the late announcement of the main event, the fight will take place at 125 lbs. I would imagine this benefits Rodriguez a bit more as I believe she is the larger fighter and the one that cuts more weight.

✅ Starting with Marina Rodriguez, she has long been a high quality striker, and she finally broke through in her last fight with a KO of Amanda Ribas. Rodriguez is a rangy striker for a strawweight, and she certainly has deceptive power behind everything she throws. After the KO of Ribas, perhaps deceptive no longer fits, but she is definitely one of the harder hitters at strawweight and does have finishing ability.

As we have often seen, when a fighter’s striking is levels above their opponent’s, their opponents often turn into wrestlers. This has been the case for Rodriguez and there have been periods of issue for her. The only fight she lost due to an opponent’s takedowns and control was to Carla Esparza, but there were two draws mixed in as well. As long as this fight takes place on the feet, it will be a walk in the park for Rodriguez. It will be up to her to dictate where the fight takes place.

✅ Michelle Waterson is a six year UFC vet with 10 fights to her name. She has fought the entire range of the roster and has been very consistent in beating who she was supposed to beat and losing to who she was supposed to lose to. The true question in this fight is whether Rodriguez is truly a level above Waterson or not, and I believe she is.

Waterson has adequate striking, but it will not take long for her to realize she will not be competitive in the stand up portions of this fight. She is also a capable wrestler and good grappler, but her style is not that of a grinding wrestler. She does not mat return opponents and drag them into grappling heavy bouts. She instead is opportunistic with takedowns and takes advantage of the takedowns she is able to score. Waterson will have at least one takedown in this fight, but she will not be able to score enough of them to tilt the fight to her favor.

✅ The damage inflicted by Rodriguez will accumulate and leave Waterson little recourse by the time the championship rounds roll around. I don’t believe she will be able to make it through the entire fight, and a stoppage for Rodriguez is at least in a tie for the most likely outcome of this fight. With that being the case, we will look to cash the plus figure of Rodriguez ITD at +275 as she pours on the damage over five rounds.

UFC Vegas 26 - Amanda Ribas vs Angela Hill

Ribas ITD

+280

✅ Amanda Ribas will look to bounce back from her first UFC loss. I like that she is matched up with another striker, albeit one that lacks the power of her previous opponent in Marina Rodriguez. Ribas was rumored to weigh over 140 lbs on fight night of her last fight, and if that was the case, it was easy to see why her chin would give out against a power striker. Not all losses can be explained, but that would certainly give a reason for that one.

Ribas still has one of if not the biggest ceilings in any weight class. Her striking is continuously improving and is quite respectable at this stage. What currently sets her apart is being the best grappler in the division. This sounds like a big statement, but is difficult to argue when we’ve already seen her beat Mackenzie Dern on the floor. She is opportunistic with getting fights to the floor and once there, she is an absolute force. No amount of training leading up to this fight or past experience will be able to save Angela Hill once this fight hits the floor. Ribas will cut through her like a knife through butter.

✅ Angela Hill will be required to keep this fight standing for the duration. Her Muay Thai striking game is going to give her an advantage on the feet against Ribas. Now, even though Hill has this advantage, it is not a massive one. The advantage for Ribas on the floor is exponentially wider and it makes the path to victory for Hill a difficult one to envision. While Hill is an extremely active fighter and has seemingly fought most of the division, she has not seen many high end grapplers with a rounded skill set. She has been submitted by Rose Namajunas and Randa Markos. She was additionally beaten by Michelle Waterson. She’s never fought Carla Esparza or Mackenzie Dern. I think the stylistic disadvantage for Hill is being undersold in this matchup.

✅ Ribas will take this fight to her world, earn a stoppage and get back on track on her path to the belt. The +280 ITD line on her is almost silly in how wide it is, and that will be our avenue of attack.

UFC Vegas 26 - Marcos Rogerio de Lima vs Maurice Greene

Rogerio de Lima

-190

✅ This fight is perhaps the easiest stylistic matchup to break down on the evening. Marcos Rogerio de Lima has been on the UFC roster for a decade, and in 12 fights we have a great read on his skill set. He is a crisp, compact and powerful striker. He certainly does his best work in the stand up department. This is especially true because he has never been able to fill in the glaring hole in his game: his takedown defense. In a brutal transition, he is quite helpless off of his back, so once he is down, he is often on the losing end of those fights. He needs to keep his fights standing, and often finds legitimate success when he is able to do so. It should be noted that while his defensive wrestling and grappling is anemic, his top game on the floor is sound enough.

✅ Maurice Greene is a long and rangy striker. I would not deem him a subpar striker, but he is certainly far from world class and he does not bring a power element at heavyweight. He is just an adequate striker that will hold his own against lesser competition but will be outclassed by anyone at the higher end of the striking spectrum. Rogerio de Lima certainly falls into the latter category.

I touched on where Rogerio de Lima loses fights, and this is simply not an area that Greene is able to exploit. Greene has quality grappling off his back, even earning two submission in the UFC from his back. However, he is yet to complete a takedown in the UFC, and he is simply not a sound offensive wrestler. His height combined with something of a lack of burst to shoot takedowns will continue to make that portion of his game a non starter.

✅ With Greene being unlikely to force this fight to the floor and Rogerio de Lima happy to bang it out, the stylistic advantage certainly lies heavily with Rogerio de Lima. He has a clear advantage on the striking and power side, and will find a KO of Greene. Greene will not have an opponent looking to wrestler him and he will have no answer for being on the wrong end of a striking battle.

With the Rogerio de Lima ITD line sitting at -120, there is simply not enough value to move to the ITD line from the -190 flat line. While I do expect a KO, the flat line is the play as it keeps a decision win in the range of winning outcomes.
