Golden Underdogs
There’s not any large’dog calling out in UFC 218 to me. However, there is 1 man with this card who may withstand some odds.
Francis Ngannou (-270) vs. Alistair Overeem (+230)
Alistair Overeem might get merked by a larger and more powerful puncher in Francis Ngannou, however in the +230, he’s worth throwing a few pennies at. Normally I’d place this fight from the stay-away category, but this is a significant test for Ngannou, a guy who hasn’t been tested yet.
Overeem is a veteran of the sport and, although his chin may be suspect, he has among the best fight IQs in the heavyweight division. Kickboxing capability and his smarts could give us a big upset along with a nice profit. Don’t go crazy with this, however. Ngannou deserves to be preferred. Overeem is worth a little wager.
Felice Herrig (-140) vs. Cortney Casey (+110)
Cortney Casey isn’t a massive dog, but her +105 moneyline would still net you a decent return or promote a parlay. Both fighters have looked solid, but stylistically, Casey seems to get the strength and size to provide Herrig problems. The single woman that has been able to fit Casey’s physicality was Claudia Gadelha and woman is one of the finest in the branch. If Casey can pour on the pressure, she can overwhelm Herrig and pick up a small upset win . Again, don’t go mad and throw down your entire bankroll, but Casey is well worth a couple of shekels.
