UFC on ESPN 24 Ferreira vs. Gillespie: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Ferreira 17-3-0 | Gillespie 13-1-0
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
The underdog Ferreira (+140) is two inches taller than the favorite Gillespie (-165), while holding a three-inch reach advantage.
While the physical attributes are nice, and Ferreira has a slight advantage in significant strikes landed per minute, Gillespie dominates on the ground. He has 7.02-to-0.89 takedown average advantage, and a 47.92%-26.09% takedown accuracy advantage.
GILLESPIE (-165) is a tremendous option to get the finish, as each of his past six fights ended via stoppages, with five wins and one loss. He is looking to bounce back from a Round 1 knockout loss against Kevin Lee at UFC 244.
GILLESPIE BY KO/TKO, DQ OR SUBMISSION (+285) on the 5-way line is worth a look for a chance to nearly triple up.

Over/Under (O/U)
Playing UNDER 2.5 ROUNDS (+145) is easily worth a play, as Gillespie has a good shot at the stoppage. Ferreira won’t go quietly into the night, so don’t get crazy and play Under 1.5 Rounds (+270), as tempting as that might be.
If you want a little extra wiggle room, take NO (+135): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE?
