- Rose Namajunas -245 ML Vs. Miranda Maverick
In the first leg, we’re looking at Buckley and Usman to see an early finish. UFC betting odds are already indicating that they believe that the fight will end early and rightfully so, as both Usman and Buckley are knockout specialists.
Buckley especially, as 15 of his 21 victories have come by knockout and 19 of his 27 career fights have all finished early. As for Usman, 12 of his 24 career fights have all finished early, including three of his last six.
Moving on to the co-main event, Thug Rose is heavily favored, and for good reason. This one comes down to experience more than anything.
Leading up to the fight, Maverick just doesn’t have the experience that Rose does. In her last five fights, she’s lost to a 36-year-old Jasmine Jasudavicius, Priscila Cachoeira who’s lost two of her last three, Andrea Lee who’s in the middle of a six-fight losing streak, Dione Barbosa who has just three UFC fights, and Jamey-Lyn Horth who has split her four UFC fights 2-2.
On the other hand, Namajunas needs no introduction when it comes to her experience. She is a former two-time champion in the division and has won two of her last three fights going into this one as well.
