UFC Fight Night 224: Dumont vs. Chandler picks and predictions
Fight result (2-way line or moneyline)
The battle-tested DUMONT (-145) is the better play, as Chandler will be facing her most experienced opponent, by far.
The Team Suoto fight knows how to do enough to impress the judges, and Saturday night should be no different. She enters with back-to-back unanimous-decision wins over Karol Rosa and Danyelle Wolf and should make it 3 straight after doing enough to get by Chandler.
Over/Under (O/U)
While Yes (-200): Will the fight go the distance?, and Over 2.5 Rounds (-250), are just too expensive, you can still make money on the result.
Look to the method of victory, and play DUMONT BY DECISION/TECHNICAL DECISION (+100) on the 7-way line at even money for a much better value.
