UFC Fight Night 247 Main Card Best Bets

Neil Magny vs. Carlos Prates – Over 1.5 Rounds (-130)

Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook at the time of publishing.

The Main Event at UFC Fight Night 247 will see Neil Magny take on Carlos Prates. This will be a fight in the UFC Welterweight division. Magny enters this fight with an MMA record of 29-13 and he is 22-11 in the UFC. Prates, on the other hand, enters this fight with an MMA record of 20-6 and he is 4-0 in the UFC.

Prates is by far the biggest favorite on this card and therefore too risky to bet on the money line. Instead, we will be looking for this fight to go over 1.5 rounds. Prates has seen 2 of his 4 UFC fights go over 1.5 rounds, while Magny has seen 3 of his last 4 UFC fights do the same. For this reason, backing the over 1.5 rounds will be our best bet.

The third fight on the Main Card at UFC Fight Night 247 will see Gerald Meerschaert take on Reinier De Ridder. This will be a fight in the UFC Middleweight division. Meerschaert enters this fight with an MMA record of 37-17 and he is 12-9 in the UFC. On the other side, De Ridder enters this fight with an MMA record of 17-2 and this will be his UFC debut.

De Ridder is the overwhelming favorite but given that this is his UFC debut, backing him to win is too risky. Instead, we will be looking at this fight to end inside the distance. De Ridder has seen 17 of his 19 career fights end inside the distance, while Meerschaert has seen 47 of his 54 career fights do the same. Because both fighters have had a very high finish rate, backing this fight to end inside the distance will be our play.

For this reason, backing this fight to go over 1.5 rounds will be our play.
