UFC 263 Dober vs. Riddell: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Dober 23-10-0 | Riddell 9-1-0
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
DOBER (-150) is the play in this one, and he will be champing at the bit to get into the octagon after a third-round submission loss to Islam Makhachev last time out at UFC 259.
Before that fight, Dober had three straight KO/TKO wins over Alexander Hernandez, Nasrat Haqparast and Polo Reyes – including two Round 1 wins.
Riddell is a perfect 3-for-3 since landing in the UFC, including a unanimous-decision win over Alex Da Silva at UFC 253 in his most recent bout. Still, facing a veteran like Dober will be his biggest test yet. While he is unbeaten in the UFC, the Kiwi has gone the distance all three times – including a narrow split-decision win over Magomed Mustafaev. Dober will end up handing Riddell his first loss, and a stoppage is likely.

Over/Under (O/U)
Playing NO (+125): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE? is a value play, as I expect Dober to get the finish. UNDER 2.5 ROUNDS (+140) is also worth playing lightly.
In addition, DOBER BY KO/TKO, DQ OR SUBMISSION (+300) on the 5-way line offers an opportunity to triple up, and that’s always nice.
