If interested in wagering on these ‘FOTN’ props or any other plays for this fight card, all betting lines will be made available at Several Bookmakerss. The ‘Fight of the Night’ plays that hold the most value are: Herrig/Curran +500 || 1u to win 5u These ladies will kick off the UFC on FOX 20 nationally broadcasted main card and are expected to get things rolling on a high note. Herrig and Curran both generally deliver entertaining performances and are fun to watch. I think this wll be a very entertaining, closely contested match-up that will likely see both fighters have their moments. At +500, I think this play holds some value, so I am going to take a shot at it. Should these ladies 115-pounders manage to take home the evening’s ‘Fight of the Night’ honors, it would mean the first time for Herrig, while being the second for Curran, who earned one in her UFC debut where she took on Paige VanZant and lost via third round TKO in a very entertaining affair. Oliveira/Moontasri +700 || 1u to win 5.5u This match=up of lightweights turned welterweights has ‘Fight of the Night’ written all over it, if you ask me, and is a real sleeper to take home the evening’s bonus. This is a rare “winner vs loser” match-up, with Oliveira coming off a first round triangle choke submission loss to Donald Cerrone and Moontasri coming off a first round TKO of Anton Zafir. Oliveira and Moontasri are both generally fun to watch and have fan-friendly fighting styles. Whether this bout lasts a few minutes or goes for all 15, I think there is a fairly good chance it proves to be entertaining and worthwhile. Should these fighters put on a show and steal the evening’s ‘Fight of the Night’ bonus, it would be the first time for both. At +700, I think this pla is worth a shot.
