MMA Knockout has you covered with a full betting guide for all the action at UFC Denver: Rose Namajunas v.s Tracy Cortez.
following a number of withdrawals, and some of those short-notice fights as well as the fact that the event takes place at elevation provide plenty of tempting lines for bettors.• Gabriel Bonfim vs. Ange Loosa • Cody Brundage vs. Abdul Razak Alhassan • Joshua Van vs. Charles Johnson • Montel Jackson vs. Da’Mon Blackshear May 6, 2023; Newark, New Jersey, USA; Drew Dober fights Matt Frevola during UFC 288 at Prudential Center.
Brundage could be fighting for his place on the UFC roster after going 2-4 through his last six fights, and although this is a dangerous matchup he does have the skills necessary to upset Alhassan. “Judo Thunder” is always a threat to end things while a fight is standing, but if Brundage can consistently close the distance without eating too many big shots he can use his wrestling to grind out a decision.
Namajunas is understandably a decent-sized favorite here, and if you’re not willing to take the odds on her outright you can get plus money on “Thug Rose” winning by decision. There’s a chance that Cortez may fade in the later rounds given that it’s her first main event and the fight is taking place at elevation, but Namajunas hasn’t scored a finish past the second round since 2015.
This prop is tempting more because of how susceptible Agapova has been to submissions than because of Santos’ own skills on the mat. The Brazilian does have three submission-wins on her record, and she’s taking on an opponent that has faded in previous fights and will be competing at elevation in Denver.Drew is an MMA writer that regularly watches regional events in addition to major promotions such as the UFC, PFL, Bellator, and ONE Championship.
