Five crazy prop bets 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’s five crazy UFC Fight Night 65 prop bets that cashed big based on the closing odds at Several Bookmakers. James Vick wins by submission (+1250)/Vick wins in round 2 (+1075) In a lightweight fight, James Vick improved to 4-0 in the UFC with a first-round submission win over Jake Matthews. Vick proved once again he is one of the most underrated lightweights in the UFC by taking out one of the division’s top prospects in devastating fashion. The props on Vick by submission at +1250 and Vick wins in round 2 at +1075 were both ridiculously undervalued, and both cashed out easily and without a sweat. Daniel Hooker wins by T/KO (+950)/Hooker wins in round 2 (+1550) In a featherweight matchup, Daniel Hooker picked up the biggest win of his career as he brutally knocked out Hatsu Hioki with a head kick and follow up punches in the second round. Hooker was losing the first two rounds, but this is MMA, and a fight can end at any time. Hooker took advantage of an opening and deserves credit for a big win, one that not many people expected. The props on Hooker by T/KO at +950 and Hooker wins in round 2 at +1550 both hit big for bettors who believed in the young Aussie. Brad Scott wins by submission (+781)/Scott wins in round 2 (+625) In a middleweight bout, Brad Scott presumably ended Dylan Andrews’ UFC career as he choked out the hometown fighter in the second round with a guillotine choke. Scott took some punishment early on in the fight but managed to hang on and survive, taking over the fight in the second and getting the stoppage. With the win, the props on Scott by submission at +781 and Scott wins in round 2 at +625 both cashed huge. Alex Chambers wins by submission (+700)/Chambers wins in round 3 (+2400) In a women’s strawweight fight, Alex Chambers pulled a rabbit out of her hat as she overcame a difficult first two rounds to find an opening and tap out Kailin Curran in round 3. Chambers was getting absolutely tooled in this fight, make no mistake about it, but give her kudos for pulling off an incredible upset, one that very few saw coming. With the victory, the props on Chambers wins by submission at +700 and Chambers wins in round 3 at +2400 both cashed huge. Ben Nguyen wins by T/KO (+575)/Nguyen wins in round 1 (+975) In a flyweight bout, Ben Nguyen upped his win streak to eight in a row as he brutally knocked out Alptekin Ozkilic to pick up a huge win in his UFC debut. Despite looking good on tape, for some reason bettors weren’t giving Nguyen a chance in this one, but he proved everyone wrong in the very first round. With the knockout win, the props on Nguyen by T/KO at +575 and Nguyen wins in round 1 at +975 both cashed big.
