If interested in wagering on these props, or any fights on this fight card, all betting lines will be made available at Several Bookmakerss. Here are my prop plays for UFC 186: C.B. Dollaway (+135) vs Michael Bisping (-145) Bisping by T/KO (+425) 1u to win 4.25u Bisping -3.5 (+165) 1u to win 1.65u This is a fight I expect Michael Bisping to dominate. If he does not earn the T/KO stoppage, I think he convinvingly wins a unanimous decision on the scorecards. That said, I do favor the T/KO here. Fabio Maldonado (+225) vs Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (-245) Rampage by T/KO (+200) 1u to win 2u Rampage in Round One (+385) .65u to win 2.5u Rampage -3.5 (-120) 1.2u to win 1u This fight will take place on the feet, where I believe Rampage is the far superior striker. Maldonado has his background in boxing, but I think the PRIDE veteran is going to outbox him in this contest and likely hand him a rare T/KO defeat. Thomas Almeida (-430) vs Yves Jabouin (+380) Almeida ITD (-138) 1.38u to win 1u This should be a coming out party for Almeida. If it hits the scorecards, I think he will have done enough to earn a unanimous 30-27 nod, however I do favor his chances of ending this one inside the distance. I took him by decision at +440 against Gorman, but I was betting more so on Gorman surviving than I was on Almeida finishing the fight. This time around, however, I think he has a much greater chance of finishing his opponent. Jabouin is by no means an easy opponent to put away, but Almeida is the type of striker who has all the tools to get it done. I think he’s gonna find the veterans chin, it’s just a matter of when. Joe Riggs (+185) vs Patrick Cote (-200) Riggs by Decision (+350) .5u to win 1.75u This is a hedge for my two-way parlay of Cote and Rakoczy/Letourneau Over 2.5 rounds. Best off letting the first leg come through before locking up this prop. Alexis Davis (+185) vs Sarah Kaufman (-200) Davis by Submission (+1050) .4u to win 4.2u This is simply a value play, as I think Davis is the superior Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner of the two and would be at an advantage in the department if and when this fight hits the mat.
