Johnny Walker vs. Jamahal Hill Prediction

Hill and Walker are both exciting fighters to watch. They both flash punches with ease and look to end battles early with a flurry of strikes.

With this battle being extended to a five-fight round, since the bump to the main event, the two of them have some thinking to do if they want to strike it out earlier than that or keep a steady pace. Most likely, the former is going to happen.

Walker has had some issues on the chin and now appears vulnerable to a heavy hit. For that reason, take Hill to win specifically by method of victory TKO/knockout.

Best Bet: Hill wins by TKO/KO at -135

How to Bet on UFC Fights

Kyle Daukaus vs. Jamie Pickett Prediction

Pickett stepped up on 10 days’ notice to take the place of Julian Marquez. With that being said, there was not enough time to reach middleweight, so they agreed to fight at 195 pounds.

Normally, this probably would be a better matchup. But with short notice and lack of proper conditioning, Daukaus might piece him up and do what he wants.

Daukaus has the ability to end this battle in a variety of ways. It will not be an attractive battle, but a win nonetheless possibly by a decision with a lot of takedowns. However, the safest bet would be to pick him to win.

Best Bet: Daukaus Wins at -260

How to Bet on Boxing

Parker Porter vs. Alan Baudot Prediction

Porter and Baudot will lead an explosive striking battle. This will basically come down to whoever lands the best strikes first.

Porter lands 8.78 significant strikes a minute while Baudot is not far behind at 7.81. At this rate, fans might get a quick result. Even though Porter has some success at takedowns, this likely will not play into this battle.

However, Baudot is not quite yet UFC material compared to Porter. Look for Porter to end this by some form of knockout by the method of victory bet.

Best Bet: Porter wins by TKO/KO at +140
