UFC Fight Night 191 Morono vs. Zawada: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Records: Morono 19-7-0 | Zawada 17-6-0

Fight result (2-way line or money line)

Zawada (+102) just hasn’t had a lot of success at the UFC level so far, while MORONO (-130) is coming off an impressive victory over Cowboy last time out. He should be brimming with confidence after the big first-round KO/TKO win, and he is a good bet to snap his alternating win-loss streak.

Over/Under (O/U)

This one isn’t going to be easy for either fighter. The best play on the board is YES (-170): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE?

Two of the past four fights for Zawada have ended up going the distance, while Morono has seen stoppages in just three of his past eight outings.  As such, play MORONO ON POINTS (+175) for a solid payoff.

UFC Fight Night 191: Modestas Bukauskas vs. Khalil Rountree Jr. odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 191 odds and lines between Modestas Bukauskas vs. Khalil Rountree Jr., with MMA picks, tips and predictions.

In a light heavyweight bout on the main card, Modestas Bukauskas faces Khalil Rountree Jr. Saturday at UFC Fight Night 191 – also known as UFC Vegas 36 – at the UFC’s APEX Facility. Below, we analyze the UFC Fight Night 191: Bukauskas vs. Rountree Jr. odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

The entire card can be viewed on ESPN+ with the prelims beginning at 2 p.m. ET and the main card at 4 p.m. ET.

Bukauskas heads into this one on a two-bout losing skid, including a split-decision setback against Michal Oleksizjczuk last time out at UFC 260 March 27. Two of his three fights at the UFC have ended via stoppage, and 13 of his past 14 fights have finished inside the distance.

“The Baltic Gladiator” enters with a 1.5-inch reach advantage and two-inch advantage in height. He also has a 3.77-to-3.06 significant strikes landed per minute advantage.

Rountree Jr. also enters on a two-fight losing streak, falling by unanimous-decision against Marcin Prachnio at UFC 257 Jan. 23. Before that he was knocked out by Ion Cutelaba in the first round Sept. 28, 2019.

  • Fight result (2-way line): Bukauskas -175 (bet $175 to win $100) | Rountree Jr. +135 (bet $100 to win $135)

UFC Fight Night 191 Bukauskas vs. Rountree Jr.: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Records: Bukauskas 11-4-0 | Rountree Jr. 9-5-0

Fight result (2-way line or money line)

Both of these fighters could use a victory badly as a three-bout losing skid at this stage isn’t great for their long-term outlook in the UFC. Expect both fighters to bring their best.

The difference in size and punching ability will determine the winner. BUKAUSKAS (-175) is just a little bit taller, he has a longer reach and he is a knockout machine. Six of his past seven pro fights have ended via KO/TKO with the Lithuania getting his arm raised on five occasions during the span.

In addition, looking to method of victory, BUKAUSKAS BY TKO/KO (+140) for a chance at plus-money is also worth a roll of the dice.

Over/Under (O/U)

Playing No (-240): Will the fight go the distance? is a little on the expensive side – so avoid. However, UNDER 1.5 ROUNDS (-165) is worth a small-unit play. Bukauskas has seen two of his three fights at the UFC level end in Round 1, while six of Rountree’s nine fights with the promotion have finished in Round 1.

UFC Fight Night 191: Tom Aspinall vs. Serghei Spivac odds, expert picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 191 odds and lines between Tom Aspinall vs. Serghei Spivac, with MMA expert picks, tips and predictions.

In a heavyweight bout on the main card, Tom Aspinall faces Serghei Spivac Saturday at UFC Fight Night 191 – also known as UFC Vegas 36 – at the UFC’s APEX Facility. Below, we analyze the UFC Fight Night 191: Aspinall vs. Spivac odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

The entire card can be viewed on ESPN+ with the prelims beginning at 2 p.m. ET and the main card at 4 p.m. ET.

The Englishman Aspinall has been as advertised since making his UFC debut. He is 3-0 since arriving at the UFC level, with each of the victories via stoppage. He won via Round 2 submission against veteran Andrei Arlovski Feb. 20 his last time out, and his previous two wins were each by way of Round 1 KO/TKO.

Spivac, a.k.a. the “Polar Bear” from Moldova, looks to slow down Aspinall. He also enters on a three-bout win streak, including two decisions sandwiching a KO/TKO over Jared Vanderaa Feb. 20. Three of his last four fights have ended up going the distance.

  • Fight result (2-way line): Aspinall -240 (bet $240 to win $100) | Spivac +180 (bet $100 to win $180)

UFC Fight Night 191 Aspinall vs. Spivac: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Records: Aspinall 10-2-0 | Spivac 13-2-0

Fight result (2-way line or money line)

ASPINALL (-240) is a little more expensive than I generally elect to play, but he is such a good bet to put Spivac away in this one. If you pair Aspinall with a couple of other betters in a multi-fight parlay it will lessen the risk significantly and give you a much better payday in the process.

Over/Under (O/U)

Aspinall has a penchant for getting things done very, very early. However, I think Spivac is going to make him work for this one, and this fight ends up going into the second round, and possibly beyond. As such, go with OVER 1.5 ROUNDS (-116) for the best bet of this fight.

UFC Fight Night 191: Paddy Pimblett vs. Luigi Vendramini odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 191 odds and lines between Paddy Pimblett and Luigi Vendramini, with MMA picks, tips and predictions.

In a lightweight bout on the main card, Paddy Pimblett faces Luigi Vendramini Saturday at UFC Fight Night 191 – also known as UFC Vegas 36 – at the UFC’s APEX Facility. Below, we analyze the UFC Fight Night 191: Pimblett vs. Vendramini odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

The entire card can be viewed on ESPN+ with the prelims beginning at 7 p.m. ET and the main card at 10 p.m. ET.

Pimblett makes his UFC debut. His most recent fight was a victory over Davide Martinez by way of submission/rear-naked choke at CW 122 March 20. In 19 career professional bouts he has 13 finishes, winning five fights via KO/TKO (5-0) and seven bouts by way of submission (7-1).

Vendramini is looking to bounce back after a disappointing majority-decision setback against Fares Ziam at UFC 263 on June 12. Since joining the promotion, Vendramini has won just once in three fights with two bouts ending via KO/TKO (1-1).

UFC Fight Night 191 Pimblett vs. Vendramini: Odds and lines

UFC Fight Night 191 Pimblett vs. Vendramini: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Records: Pimblett (16-3-0) | Vendramini (9-2-0)

Fight result (2-way line or money line)

PIMBLETT (-160) is a solid play in his UFC debut as he looks to push past the disappointing Vendramini (+125). Two of Pimblett’s past three victories have been by way of submission with the rear-naked choke his speciality.

Take PIMBLETT BY SUBMISSION (+300) lightly for a chance to triple up.

Over/Under (O/U)

Playing NO (-170): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE? is a little expensive but a good play in this one. Pimblett has had stoppages in three of his past four fights while just one of Vendramini’s 11 professional bouts have needed the assistance of the judges. UNDER 2.5 ROUNDS (-133) is a worthwhile play, too.

UFC Fight Night 191: Derek Brunson vs. Darren Till odds, expert picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC 191 odds and lines between Derek Brunson vs. Darren Till, with MMA expert picks, tips and predictions.

In a middleweight bout in the main event, Derek Brunson faces Darren Till Saturday at UFC Fight Night 191 – also known as UFC Vegas 36 – at the UFC’s APEX Facility. Below, we analyze the UFC Fight Night 191: Brunson vs. Till odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

The entire card can be viewed on ESPN+ with the prelims beginning at 2 p.m. ET and the main card at 4 p.m. ET.

We get a southpaw vs. southpaw five-round main event in this one. Brunson has a three-inch reach advantage and a 3.46-to-2.27 significant strikes landed per minute advantage. In addition, Brunson leads 3.11 to 0.54 in takedown average.

Where Till is at an advantage is in the age department. “The Gorilla” is nine years younger than his counterpart and will be champing at the bit after losing a unanimous-decision setback to Robert Whittaker in the main event July 25, 2020. He has been rehabbing after suffering a torn medial collateral ligament against Whittaker and a broken collarbone prior to his last scheduled bout but is now healthy and ready to roll.

While Till has lost three of his last four fights, losses to Tyron Woodley, Jorge Masvidal and Whittaker are certainly nothing to be ashamed about. He also has an impressive split-decision victory over Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 244 during that stretch.

UFC Fight Night 191 Brunson vs. Till: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Records: Brunson 22-7-0 | Till 18-3-1

Fight result (2-way line or money line)

BRUNSON (+135) has been on a roll, winning his last four fights, and is an attractive live ‘dog at this price.

Till has been fighting much stronger fighters recently but there is just something about the confidence winning brings. Brunson is a little older, and he isn’t a finisher like earlier in his career, but I think he does enough in the technical aspects to wow the judges and get it done.

As such, take BRUNSON ON POINTS (+440) for a nice little payoff. Three of his last four fights have gone the distance, while Till’s last two have also involved the judges.

Over/Under (O/U)

I like Brunson to win this one by way of decision, and that makes YES (+165): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE? quite the attractive play in this main event.

OVER 3.5 ROUNDS (+102) is a nice play at plus money if you don’t want to specify a winner and want a little bit of wiggle room rather than just betting on it going the distance.
