UFC on ESPN 44: Tanner Boser vs. Ion Cutelaba odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 44 odds and lines between Tanner Boser vs. Ion Cutelaba, with MMA picks, tips and predictions.

In a heavyweight bout on the main card, Tanner Boser and Ion Cutelaba meet at UFC on ESPN 44 at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the UFC on ESPN 44: Boser vs. Cutelaba odds, and make our expert picks and predictions.

The prelims are on ESPN+ at 5:30 p.m. ET, while the main card can be viewed on ESPN/ESPN+ at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Boser has been ice-cold, winning just once in the past 4 outings. That KO/TKO win over Ovince Saint Preux in June 2021 was the only stoppage, with 2 losses coming via split decision, and the other setback via unanimous decision against Andrei Arlovski.

Cutelaba enters on a 3-fight losing streak. Not only has the Moldovan lost 3 in a row, he was knocked out in the 2nd round by Kennedy Nzechukwu, and he was submitted by Johnny Walker and Ryan Spann in the 2 previous outings. Cutelaba also enters on a 1-5-1 skid in the past 7 bouts.

UFC on ESPN 44: Boser vs. Cutelaba picks and predictions

Records: Boser (20-9-1) | Cutelaba (16-9-1)

Fight result (2-way line or moneyline)

These are 2 fighters not only in need of a win, but they might be fighting simply to stay in the promotion.

Cutelaba holds a slight 4.43-to-4.21 significant strikes landed per minute advantage, although BOSER (+110) is much more accurate at 58.93% to just 46.36% for Cutelaba.

Boser is worth a look a plus-money as the slight underdog, as he has had more impressive victories in the past couple of years.

Looking to METHOD OF VICTORY: BOSER BY KO/TKO OR DQ (+225) is worth a look. His past 3 wins have been via knockout, while Cutelaba has lost via stoppage in each of his previous 3 bouts.

Over/Under (O/U)

Playing OVER 1.5 ROUNDS (-140) is a solid play, even though I’m expecting this fight to end with a Boser knockout. Cutelaba will make him work at least into Round 2 for the victory.

Playing No: Will the fight go the distance (-275) is too expensive, however.

UFC on ESPN 44: Edson Barboza vs. Billy Quarantillo odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 44 odds and lines between Edson Barboza and Billy Quarantillo, with MMA picks, tips and predictions.

In a featherweight bout on the main card, Edson Barboza and Billy Quarantillo meet at UFC on ESPN 44 at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the UFC on ESPN 44: Barboza vs. Quarantillo odds, and make our expert picks and predictions.

The prelims are on ESPN+ at 5:30 p.m. ET, while the main card can be viewed on ESPN/ESPN+ at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Barboza is looking to halt a 2-bout losing streak, as he was edged by Bryce Mitchell at UFC 272 by unanimous decision last time out on March 5, 2022. He was knocked out by Giga Chikadze in the main event on in Aug. 2021 in the fight prior.

Barboza has won just 3 times in the past 10 fights, losing twice via KO/TKO, once by way of TKO – Doctor’s Stoppage, twice via split-decision and twice by way of unanimous decision.

Quarantillo has been stuck in neutral a little bit, alternating wins and losses across the past 5 outings. He dropped Alexander Hernandez via KO/TKO in the 2nd Round at UFC 282 in December, and each of his past 3 wins has been via knockout.

UFC on ESPN 44: Barboza vs. Quarantillo picks and predictions

Records: Barboza (22-11-0) | Quarantillo (17-4-0)

Fight result (2-way line or moneyline)

QUARANTILLO (-175) is a little pricey, but he is worth the play.

The younger fighter has a slight reach advantage, although Barboza is the more prolific puncher by far. The Brazilian has a 7.24-to-3.40 significant strikes landed per minute advantage.

However, Quarantillo is much better on the mat and has been fighting better than Barboza in recent years. Quarantillo holds a 1.35-to-0.29 takedown average, and he’ll be looking to get this fight to the mat as quickly as possible.

METHOD OF VICTORY – 7-WAY: QUARANTILLO BY SUBMISSION (+650) is worth a look for a chance to multiply your initial wager by 6 1/2 times.

In addition, if you go want to get specific with the submission and exact outcome, roll with FIGHT – EXACT OUTCOME: QUARANTILLO BY REAR NAKED CHOKE (+800).

Over/Under (O/U)

WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE? NO (-135) is the way to go because I believe Quarantillo will get the stoppage.

It’s rather specific, but playing ROUND BETTING: QUARANTILLO IN ROUND 2 (+550) is also worth a look, too. In 2 of his past 4 stoppages, he has won in Round 2, including his most recent submission victory.

UFC on ESPN 44: Max Holloway vs. Arnold Allen odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 44 odds and lines between Max Holloway and Arnold Allen, with MMA picks, tips and predictions.

In a featherweight bout in the main event, Max Holloway and Arnold Allen meet at UFC on ESPN 44 at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the UFC on ESPN 44: Holloway vs. Allen odds, and make our expert picks and predictions.

The prelims are on ESPN+ at 5:30 p.m. ET, while the main card can be viewed on ESPN/ESPN+ at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Holloway, the former champ, lost last time out in a chance for the strap at UFC 276. He was stopped by Alexander Volkanovski via unanimous decision. Holloway has gone the distance in each of his past 7 fights, going 3-4 with 3 losses to Volkanovski.

Allen streaks into this fight with 10 straight victories since arriving at the UFC level, including a 2nd-round KO/TKO against Calvin Kattar last time out in October. He had a 1st-round KO/TKO against Dan Hooker on March 19, 2022, in the fight prior, but his 4 previous bouts went the distance.

UFC on ESPN 44: Holloway vs. Allen picks and predictions

Records: Holloway (23-7-0) | Allen (19-1-0)

Fight result (2-way line or moneyline)

Holloway (-185) is just a little too expensive for a standalone wager, although he isn’t a terrible play as part of a multi-fighter parlay.

Holloway has gone the distance in 7 straight fights, and he’ll tap into his experience to hang a loss on Allen, so ROUND AND METHOD OF VICTORY: HOLLOWAY BY DECISION/TECHNICAL DECISION (+150) is a much better value for a chance to multiply your initial wager by 1 1/2 times.

Over/Under (O/U)

If you don’t want to declare a winner, then WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE? YES (-135) isn’t priced out of line. Allen has gone the distance in 4 of his past 6 fights, while Holloway has needed the help of the judges to determine a winner in 7 in a row.

If you’d like a little wiggle room, betting OVER 4.5 ROUNDS (-115) is also a recommended play.
