UFC Fight Night 247: picks and predictions Bolanos vs. Romious

Fight result (2-way line or moneyline)

Romious (-225) will cost you more than 2x your potential return, and that’s a bit too expensive for a standalone bet. Plus, this is a guy making his UFC debut, so there’s a lot of risk just for that.

The southpaw has had plenty of success at lower levels, and is a machine on the canvas. If he manages to get Bolanos to the ground and enter a wrestling match, it won’t end well for the Peruvian fighter. Let’s get specific and play ROMIEUX BY SUBMISSION (+150) on the line at 7 for the victory method.

More/Less (Y/U)

No (-250): Will the fight go the distance is a bit too expensive, costing you 2½ times your potential return. It’s way too much risk for not enough reward.

Instead, MORE THAN 1.5 LAPS (-150) is a strong play, as Bolanos should be able to stay, again, as long as he doesn’t get on the canvas quickly. However, I still expect that in the second half of the second round, or during the third round, Romious will get there before the judges need to get involved.
