UFC Fight Night 246 Main Card Best Bets

Erin Blanchfield ML over Rose Namajunas (-130)

The Co-Main Event at UFC Fight Night 246 will see Erin Blanchfield take on Rose Namajunas. This will be a fight in the UFC Women’s Flyweight division. Blanchfield enters this fight with an MMA record of 12-2 and she is 6-1 in the UFC. She averages 5.47 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 45%. Blanchfield absorbs 4.34 strikes and has a striking defense of 58%. Her grappling has also been a big part of her fighting style, averaging 2.05 takedowns every 15 minutes and 1.0 submission attempts during the same period. Blanchfield has a takedown accuracy of 33% and her takedown defense is 81%.

Blanchfield is the small favorite in this fight and looks to be the best betting option. Up until her most recent fight, she was perfect in the UFC. Further, Blanchfield has the edge in striking volume and grappling. Of course, Namajunas is a former champion but has gone an inconsistent 2-2 over her last 4 UFC fights, which is why backing Blanchfield to win will be our best bet.

Marc-Andre Barriault vs. Dustin Stoltzfus – Fight to go the Distance – No (-120)

The second fight on the Main Card at UFC Fight Night 246 will see Marc-Andre Barriault take on Dustin Stoltzfus. This will be a fight in the UFC Middleweight division.

Barriault is the clear favorite in this fight, however, he and Stoltzfus have been inconsistent in the UFC, which is why we will be looking at this fight to end inside the distance instead. Barriault has seen 5 of his last 7 UFC fights end inside the distance, while Stoltzfus has seen 5 of his last 6 UFC fights do the same. Because both fighters are consistently seeing their fights end early as of recently, backing this fight to also end inside the distance will be our play.

Malott is the heavy favorite in this fight; therefore, we will be looking at how he will win.

Because Malott has an excellent finish rate and Giles has a record of being finished, backing Malott to win by finish will be our best bet.
