UFC 224 is piled with lots of fun and name brand UFC fighters looking to put on a show for the Brazilian crowd. Don’t get blindsided with the flashy names of the past or the thrilling new prospects — maintain a level head when betting on UFC 224. Here are a few of the very best bets, based on amounts, on May 12 for UFC 224.
John Lineker Can Be 6-0 In His Last 6 Fights Outside The U.S.
John Lineker is famous for being a whirling dervish of pure violence and aggression who only overwhelms his opponents with his ferocity. Considering joining the UFC in 2012, Lineker is 11-3 with all the company but what is most impressive is his performances outside the United States.
Lineker is 6-0 beneath the UFC banner in bouts held outside the U.S. — four of which took place in his home state of Brazil. Unsurprisingly,”Hands of Stone” entered five of those six bouts as a betting favorite with the only exception being when he was a +110 underdog vs Azamat Gashimov (yeah, I don’t know who that is ).
Together with Lineker laying so much chalk in those fights, bettors haven’t made a ton of money backing the Brazilian — you would wind up $289.70 in the event that you wager $100 on each of his six conflicts outside America. But, Lineker remains a wonderful piece of a parlay and this trend also suggests that perhaps you should not back Brian Kelleher as an underdog in this bout.
Vitor Belfort Is 0-4 In His Last 4 Fights As An Underdog
Vitor Belfort’s summit has long since passed “The Phenom” looking like a shell of his former self. And bettors must be careful at the notion of backing him what is supposed to be Belfort’s retirement fight, as he is 0-4 in his last four as a puppy.
That record drops to 0-5 if you include a reduction to Kelvin Gastelum that was eventually overturned after Gastelum tested positive for marijuana (yeah, I know). In all fairness, Belfort was a pretty hefty dog in the majority of those fights, therefore bettors wouldn’t be up a huge amount for evaporating the Brazilian in those excursions.
To get a more in-depth look at Belfort’s battles as an underdog, I wrote a piece you can check out. This also includes the best way to make money when fading The Phenom.
