UFC on ESPN 39 dos Anjos vs. Fiziev picks and predictions
Records: dos Anjos (31-13-0) | Fiziev (11-1-0)
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
Fiziev (-220) is a little on the expensive side, costing more than 2 times your potential return. While he is expected to roll in this fight, get a little more specific.
Dos Anjos (+170) tends to go the distance, and Fiziev is not strange to the judges deciding a winner in his fights, either. Take FIZIEV BY POINTS (+135) for a much better value.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 4.5 ROUNDS (-155) isn’t terribly out of line if you want a little wiggle room in the event of a late finish. Still, it’s a much better value than playing Yes (-170): Fight to go the distance.
