UFC on ESPN 39 Borralho vs. Petrosyan picks and predictions
Records: Borralho (11-1-0) | Petrosyan (7-1-0)
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
Both of these guys are punching machines and knockout artists at the lower levels. However, target Borralho (-260) to win this event, as he enters the fight with a 4-inch reach advantage. The southpaw will use that to keep Petrosyan at arm’s length. He has also been a lot more accurate with his punches.
You can’t take Borralho laying more than 2 1/2 times your potential return, however. Instead, look to the method of victory and take a chance on BORRALHO BY POINTS (+165) for a much better value.
Over/Under (O/U)
YES: FIGHT TO GO THE DISTANCE (+130) is a good value here. Both fighters have been knockout specialists in the early portion of their careers, but each went the distance in their UFC debut fights. Look for this one to be a rather slow go.
