UFC Fight Night 212: Jordan Wright vs. Dusko Todorovic odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 212 odds and lines between Jordan Wright vs. Dusko Todorovic, with MMA picks, tips and predictions.

In a middleweight bout on the main card, Jordan Wright and Dusko Todorovic meet Saturday at UFC Fight Night 212 at UFC’s APEX Facility in Las Vegas. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the UFC Fight Night 212: Wright vs. Todorovic odds, with expert picks and predictions.

The fight can be viewed on ESPN+ with the prelims beginning at 4 p.m. ET and the main card at 7 p.m. ET.

Wright, a.k.a. “The Beverly Hills Ninja”, heads into this one on a 2-fight skid. Not only has he lost, but both setbacks were in the 1st round. He was submitted by Marc-Andre Barriault last time out in late April, and knocked out in Round 1 by Bruno Silva at UFC 269.

Todorovic would love to add to Wright’s woes. “Thunder” also suffered a Round 1 loss last time out against Chidi Njokuani in late May on the same card as the Wright-Barriault fight. Todorovic has lost 3 of his past 4 fights overall, too, including a pair of knockout losses.

Wright looks to use his 3-inch reach advantage to keep Todorovic at a distance. He has a 7.37-to-5.36 significant strikes landed per minute advantage, and he also owns a 2.38-to-1.14 takedown average advantage.

UFC Fight Night 212 Wright vs. Todorovic picks and predictions

Records: Wright (12-3-0) | Todorovic (11-3-0)

Fight result (2-way line or money line)

WRIGHT (+175) is a value play on the 2-way line, as he should be able to use his reach advantage to pick and choose his spots to move in.

Wright has struggled recently, and might be fighting to stick around in the UFC, needing a win. I expect to see a little desperation on his part after a pair of Round 1 losses. Todorovic is standing on a lot more firmer ground.

Over/Under (O/U)

No (-700): Fight to go the distance, and/or Under 1.5 Rounds (-230), are each too expensive, and there is no value playing either side.

PASS, and just stick to the 2-way line upset play.

UFC Fight Night 212: Cub Swanson vs. Jonathan Martinez odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 212 odds and lines between Cub Swanson vs. Jonathan Martinez, with MMA picks, tips and predictions.

In a bantamweight bout on the main card, Cub Swanson and Jonathan Martinez meet Saturday at UFC Fight Night 212 at UFC’s APEX Facility in Las Vegas. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the UFC Fight Night 212: Swanson vs. Martinez odds, with expert picks and predictions.

The fight can be viewed on ESPN+ with the prelims beginning at 4 p.m. ET and the main card at 7 p.m. ET.

Swanson has rattled off 3 victories in the past 4 fights, bouncing back nicely after a 4-bout losing skid from Dec. 2017-May 2019.

Swanson picked up a 1st-round KO/TKO win over Darren Elkins last time out in mid-December, rebounding after a Round 1 knockout loss to Giga Chikadze.

Martinez has posted 3 straight unanimous-decision victories, including a win over Vince Morales in late May.

This is a rather even match by the numbers, with Martinez holding an ever-so-slight 4.72-to-4.66 significant strikes landed per minute advantage. Swanson is slightly more accurate, and he has twice as much success in takedowns at 1.08-to-0.54.

UFC Fight Night 212 Swanson vs. Martinez picks and predictions

Records: Swanson (28-12-0) | Martinez (16-4-0)

Fight result (2-way line or money line)

SWANSON (+175) is a wily veteran that matches up well with Martinez (-230). The value is on the 38-year-old, who has had a resurgence in recent years. His past 3 fights have been KO/TKOs, with 2 victories. His last win was a wild Round 1 win over Elkins.

Playing SWANSON BY KO/TKO (+490) is worth a small-unit play, too. He is 13-2 in his career in 40 professional fights, so if he wins, there is a good chance this is the method of victory.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 ROUNDS (+112) is worth a roll of the dice, whether you play the Swanson pick above, or just want action without declaring an actual winner.

NO (+105): FIGHT TO GO DISTANCE is also worth a play, and still a value at plus-money, if you’d like 90 more seconds of wiggle room.

UFC Fight Night 212: Alexa Grasso vs. Viviane Araujo odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 212 odds and lines between Alexa Grasso vs. Viviane Araujo, with MMA picks, tips and predictions.

In a women’s flyweight bout in the main event, Alexa Grasso and Viviane Araujo meet Saturday at UFC Fight Night 212 at UFC’s APEX Facility in Las Vegas. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the UFC Fight Night 212: Grasso vs. Araujo odds, with expert picks and predictions.

Grasso heads into this one with 3 consecutive victories, including a submission win over Joanne Wood in Round 1 last time out in late March. It was a rare finish, as Grasso had gone the distance in 4 straight before the Wood bout, and 7 times in her first 9 bouts since arriving at the UFC level.

Araujo is coming off a unanimous-decision victory over Andrea Lee in mid-May, her 6th consecutive fights going the distance. She is 5-1 during that streak, with her only finish coming in a KO/TKO win over Talita Bernardo in May 2019 in her company debut at UFC 237.

UFC Fight Night 212 Grasso vs. Araujo odds

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 11:30 a.m. ET.

  • Fight result (2-way line): Grasso -230 (bet $230 to win $100) | Araujo +175 (bet $100 to win $175)
  • Over/Under: 4.5 rounds (Over -230 | Under +160)

UFC Fight Night 212 Grasso vs. Araujo picks and predictions

Records: Grasso (14-3-0) | Araujo (11-3-0)

Fight result (2-way line or money line)

Grasso (-230) will cost more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s a little too expensive on the 2-way line in a bout between 2 fighters used to going the distance. Anything can happen when the decision is in the judges’ hands, so don’t risk it.

Instead, GRASSO BY POINTS (+120) is a much better value if you like her to win. Neither fighter has been getting finishes, and plus-money is nice.

Over/Under (O/U)

Over 4.5 Rounds (-230) is a little too expensive, as is Yes (-190): Fight to go the distance. Yes, both fighters tend to leave things in the hands of the judges to decide a winner, but there is just no value in either of these props.

PASS, and just stick with the method of victory play.
