Vlasto Cepo to Win (-294)

Odds available at Betfair at time of publishing

I'm picking Vlasto Cepo to win against Gilbert Urbina. Cepo has a strong striking game, and he knows how to keep the fight standing where he can score points. Urbina will need to take the fight to the ground to have a real shot, but that won't be easy. Our numbers suggest Cepo has a good chance to come out on top, but remember, anything can happen in the octagon. It's not a sure thing, but I like Cepo's chances here. It was priced at -294 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $13.40 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a clear favourite. Our model likes this one a lot. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.

Under 0.5 Total Rounds (+180)

In the fight between Gilbert Urbina and Vlasto Cepo, I like the bet on under 0.5 rounds. Both fighters are known for their finishing ability, which means they often look to end fights quickly. With their aggressive styles, there's a good chance this fight won't go the distance. While this is a bit of a long shot, the odds at +180 make it worth a try. Just remember, anything can happen in the octagon, so there are no guarantees here! It was priced at +180 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $28 if it lands. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model has this as a long shot, so keep the stake small. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.

The tale of the tape:

  • Gilbert Urbina: last five L-L-W-L-L, dropped the last 2, 8% of career wins came by knockout, 355 days since the last fight

That is how our model reads Gilbert Urbina v Vlasto Cepo. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
