UFC on ESPN+ 52 Gillespie vs. Riddell: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Records: Gillespie 13-1 | Riddell 9-1

Fight result (2-way line or money line)

Gillespie (-250) is a heavy favorite to win, but betting two-and-a-half times your potential return is just not a good long-term strategy. He is coming off a first-round knockout loss against Kevin Lee at UFC 244 – his first professional loss. Each of his past six fights have finished inside the distance, with three KO/TKO wins and two via submission. As such, the better play is GILLESPIE BY KO/TKO, DQ OR SUBMISSION (+135) at plus-money.

Riddell is 3-0 in his three fights since making his company debut at UFC 243. However, Jamie Mullarkey, Magomed Mustafaev and Alex Da Silva aren’t in the same league as Gillespie. He went the distance in those three previous fights, but there is little-to-no chance of that happening here.

Over/Under (O/U)

As mentioned above, Riddell’s past three fights have gone the distance. However, Gillespie has had stoppages in six straight fights, and the best play is NO (-140) ON ‘WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE?’. For just 90 fewer seconds, you can go UNDER 2.5 ROUNDS (-110) for a much better value.

I also like GILLESPIE IN ROUND 1 (+350) and GILLESPIE IN ROUND 2 (+550). Yes, you will lose one of the ends with a Gillespie win in either of the first two rounds, but you’ll still be well in the black.
