UFC Fight Night 190 Barcelos vs. Valiev: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Barcelos 16-1-0 | Valiev 17-2-0
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
Barcelos (-225) has cashed in a pair of unanimous-decision wins in his past two outings. However, it’s just too risky betting a guy who leaves it in the hands of the judges, especially when he will cost you more than twice your potential return.
Instead, play BARCELOS ON POINTS (+130) for a much better value.

Over/Under (O/U)
Barcelos and Valiev each have a penchant of going the distance and leaving it up to the judges to decide. Since I’m playing Barcelo on points, roll with YES (-185): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE?
If you want a little wiggle room, play OVER 2.5 ROUNDS (-225).
