UFC 262 Burgos vs. Barboza: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Burgos 13-2-0 | Barboza 21-9-0
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
BURGOS (-155) is a punching machine, racking up 7.31 significant strikes landed per minute to just 3.98 for Barboza. He’ll look to daze Barboza early and often. He is also more accurate with the fists, posting a 54.79 significant strikes accuracy percentage advantage to 45.04 for Barboza.
Burgos is looking to bounce back from a unanimous-decision loss to Josh Emmett last time out June 20, 2020, splashing cold water on a three-bout win streak. During the win streak he had a submission win over Kurt Holobaugh, a split-decision win over Cub Swanson and a KO/TKO over Makwan Amirkhani, so he can win by a variety of ways. Play BURGOS BY KO/TKO, DQ OR SUBMISSION (+275) on the 5-way line for a chance to nearly triple up.
