In a heavyweight bout on the main card, Parker Porter faces Chase Sherman Saturday at UFC on ESPN 29 – also known as UFC Vegas 34 – at the UFC’s APEX Facility. Below, we analyze the UFC on ESPN 29 Porter vs. Sherman odds and lines, with MMA picks and predictions.
The prelims will be televised on ESPN2/ESPN+ at 7 p.m. ET, with the main card will be televised on ESPN/ESPN+ at 10 p.m. ET.
Porter has had mixed results since joining the promotion. He dropped his debut to Chris Daukaus at UFC 252 before pushing past Josh Parisian last time out via unanimous decision Nov. 28.
Sherman, a.k.a. “The Vanilla Gorilla”, is looking to rebound after a disappointing unanimous-decision loss April 17 to veteran Andrei Arlovski his last time out. It was a rare fight going the distance for Sherman as his previous five pro bouts had ended via stoppage.

UFC on ESPN 29 Porter vs. Sherman: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Porter (11-6-0) | Sherman (15-7-0)
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
Sherman (-200) is a little too pricey for my liking, costing you two times your potential return. Instead, look to METHOD OF VICTORY and play SHERMAN BY KO/TKO (+120) for a much better value.
Over/Under (O/U)
I believe Sherman gets the finish and as such will look to NO (-210): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE?, although it’s a little on the expensive side.
However, I think the fight goes at least into the second half of Round 2 making OVER 1.5 ROUNDS (-170) worth the play as well.
