Here are my prop plays…
Alexander Volkov (-115) vs. Stefan Struve (+105)
Struve in Round Four (+1775)
Struve in Round Five (+2775)
I see value in these betting lines, as I think there’s a good chance that Struve stops Volkov late in this main event heavyweight contest scheduled for five rounds.
Rustam Khabilov (-260) vs. Desmond Green (+240)
Green Inside the Distance (+945)
I think Green is more likely to win this fight on the judges’ scorecards, but I see value in the “finish line” at +945 to squeeze the trigger on a play. I could see him hurting Khabilov and earning a T/KO and possibly a submission via choke.
Mairbek Taisumov (-255) vs. Felipe Silva (+235)
Silva by Decision (+570)
I like the value in this play, as I think there’s quite a decent chance Silva picks up a win on the judges’ scorecards in this 155-pound contest. I can see him outstriking Taisumov over the course of three rounds to take home the victory on the judges’ scorecards. The betting odds favor a finish by the Brazilian at +334, with the T/KO line being +475, and while I could see him getting the stoppage victory, I think a win on the cards is more likely, which is why I think the prop holds value at +570.
Zabit Magomedsharipov (-420) vs. Mike Santiago (+375)
Magomedsharipov Inside the Distance (-175)
I think Magomedsharipov wins this fight inside the distance more times than not and see value in the current offering price of -175, as I think the line should be -400, which is practically what the money line price on him currently is.
