Five Props is a column featured on MMAOddsbreaker.com after every major MMA event that highlights the biggest underdog prop bets to cash out from that card. Here are five UFC on ESPN+ 20 bets that cashed big based on the closing odds from across various sportsbooks.
1) Ciryl Gane by Submission (+550)
In the heavyweight division, it is rather to find a fighter with both striking and submission acumen. However, French fighter Ciryl Gane seems to have that package. He hurt Don’Tale Mayes on the feet, but once he took the fight to the mat he was able to rather easily find a submission. The submission line was the biggest prop to win on the card at +550. Expect that line to drop in upcoming Gane bouts.
2) Muslim Salikhov by Decision (+400)
Talented striker Muslim Salikhov was unable to get the finish in this bout, but certainly did enough to earn a decision over Laureano Starpoli to provide backers a +400 cash
3) Demian Maia by Submission (+350)
In the night’s main event, it was unique battle between two of welterweight’s best grapplers. In this case, the submission expert reversed the wrestler and submitted him in the third round. Backing Maia to win by submission paid out at +350
4) Stevie Ray by Decision (+350)
Buoyed by a big third round, Stevie Ray beat up American Michael Johnson to claim a split decision victory in the co-main event of the evening. Ray by decision paid +350
5) Beneil Dariush by Submission (+280)
In easily the most dominant performance of the night, Beneil Dariush barely broke a sweat as he landed on the feet and then worked the fight to the ground where he submitted Frank Camacho in the opening round. Taking no damage, expect Dariush to make a quick return to action. Dariush by submission provided value even at +280
A $100 parlay on these five props would have netted a six figure cash with $249,988
