UFC Fight Night 223 Main Card best bets

Mackenzie Dern vs Angela Hill – Fight to go the Distance – Yes (-135)

Mackenzie Dern is a heavy favorite in this fight and while Angela Hill has been inconsistent in the UFC, she shouldn’t be fully counted out here. What is more likely is a long grueling fight that goes the distance. Dern has seen 4 of her last 5 fights go the distance, while Hill has seen her last 9 fights do the same. For that reason, also backing this fight to go the distance will be our play.

Maheshate vs Viacheslav Borshchev – Fight to go the Distance – Yes (+165)

Viacheslav Borshchev is a decent-sized favorite in this fight, but his inconsistencies in the UFC likely make him too risky to back outright. Borshchev has seen his last 2 fights go the distance, while Maheshate has seen 2 of his last 3 UFC fights do the same. For that reason, backing this fight to also go the distance will be our play.
