Fight result (2-way line or money line)
TREVIN GILES (+100) enters this bout on a three-bout win streak, including a third-round KO/TKO against Bevon Lewis Nov. 7, 2020. He has been a punching machine in the UFC, and his only weakness has been his ground game, losing a pair of fights by submission to Gerald Meerschaert and Zak Cummings in 2019.
Du Plessis (-120) is a talented fighter that made his UFC debut with a first-round KO/TKO against Markus Perez Oct. 10, 2020. This is a big step up in competition for Giles. In fact, this is a rather attractive matchup, and it’s surprising it is so low on the card. It could easily be on the main card.

Over/Under (O/U)
There is a more than good chance this one doesn’t involve the judges, so NO (-130): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE? is a strong play.
Only two of the seven fights for Giles at the UFC level have been decisions, while Du Plessis has had stoppages in all 17 of his fights as a pro – including his only UFC appearance.
