Five crazy prop bets is a column featured on MMAOddsbreaker.com after every UFC event that highlights the biggest underdog prop bets to cash out from that card Here’s five crazy UFC Fight Night 51 bets that cashed big based on the closing odds at Several Bookmakers. Andrei Arlovski wins by T/KO (+800)/Arlovski wins in round 1 (+1450) In the main event of UFC Fight Night 51, Andrei Arlovski turned back the clock with a crushing first-round KO of Antonio Silva. Arlovski nailed silva with a blistering right hand in the first that knocked Silva to the mat, and he finished him off with some brutal ground and pound for the win. The prop on Arlovski wins by T/KO cashed at +800, while the prop on him winning in round 1 hit at +1450. Santiago Ponzinibbio wins inside the distance (+325) There wasn’t too much hype surrounding Santiago Ponzinibbio heading into UFC FN 51, but there should be now after his brutal first-round TKO over Wendell Oliveira. It was Ponzinibbio’s first official win in the Octagon and something tells me he’ll have a lot more fights in his UFC tenure, especially if he keeps winning like this. The prop on Poniznibbio wins inside the distance, by the way, cashed at +325. Jessica Andrade wins inside the distance (+434) In a women’s bantamweight bout, Jessica Andrade used her wrestling ability to take Larissa Pacheco to the floor, where she submitted her in the first round for the upset victory. In hindsight, Andrade should have never been the underdog, but those who backed her were paid handsomely. The prop on Andrade winning inside of three rounds cashed at +434. George Sullivan wins inside the distance (+387) In an unheralded welterweight bout, George Sullivan finished off Igor Araujo with some brutal ground and pound in the second round. The fight was going as expected to that point, with both men grinding each other up against the fence, but once Sullivan finally got a takedown he was able to use it to his advantage and smash Araujo’s face into oblivion. The prop on Sullivan wins inside the distance proved to be a winner at +387. Rani Yahya wins inside the distance (+243) In the very first fight of the night, Rani Yahya submitted Johnny Bedford in the second round with a kimura. Yahya was the underdog heading into the matchup after the pair’s No Contest back in April, but he showed he should have been the favorite once again as he finished his second UFC fight by sub. The prop on Yahya wins inside the distance cashed at +243.
