If your looking to place some bets on the fights in Atlanta tonight, I got you covered. This is a tougher card to bet on because the majority of these fights are very close competitive match ups were either fighter could realistically find a way to get his/her hand raised. However I did find a few bets that stand out to me.



RANDY COSTA (+140) over Brandon Davis



I like my guy here Randy Costa as a slight underdog against Davis. Costa is the younger fighter at age 24 with just a 4-0 record, and making his UFC debut. Brandon Davis has 14 total professional fights with a 9-5 record, but since joining the UFC after getting a win on Dana White’s Contender Series Davis is just 1-3 in UFC bouts. I see Costa following in the footsteps of teammates like Rob Font and Calvin Kattar and having some success in the UFC, also Kyle Bochniak who already holds a win over Brandon Davis.

ALAN JOUBAN (-115) over Dwight Grant



Both fighters come in at -115 in this bout. Always been a big fan of Alan Jouban, and I think he’s just a better overall striker here than Grant is. Scrolling through Tapology welterweight rankings Jouban sits at #38 while Grant is outside the top 75 at #79. Also if you look at some of the names that Jouban has fought, Niko Price, Platinum Mike Perry, Belal Muhammad, Gunnar Nelson, he’s just been in the octagon with much stiffer competition.

SAFE PARLAY OF THE NIGHT: Montel Jackson (-550) w/ Max Holloway (-205)



If your just looking to play it safe here tonight and go home with some guaranteed cash go with the Montel Jackson and Max Holloway parlay. Montel Jackson is the biggest favorite on the card, and look impressive last time out with his round one submission of Brian Kelleher. Look for him to live up to his nickname and make “Quick” work of Soukhamthath tonight. To go with that I like the featherweight champ a lot tonight. From what I’ve seen of Poirier he slows down his striking out put as the rounds go on, and as we all know Holloway just continues to smother you with strikes as the rounds go on. I see Holloway outstriking Poirier on his way to a unanimous decision, as well as his 2nd belt.

LOW RISK HIGH FUN PARLAY OF THE NIGHT:

Belal Muhammad (-150) + Boston Salmon (-150) + Eryk Anders (-200) + Ovince Saint Preux (-110) Israel Adesanya



I like all these guys to win their fights, but I also don’t see any of them as complete locks. I’d rather combine these five guys in a parlay to lower the risk, but will be fun to watch it all unfold throughout the night with potential of a sweet payday. I also had to fit Adesanya in one of the bets somewhere because I needed to make sure I had some kind of stock in him.

UNDERDOG PARLAY: Kelvin Gastelum (+150) + Dustin Poirier (+165)



These guys are in interim title fights for a reason, the are both very elite talents in their respective divisions. Gastelum is a tough fighter who will look to put the pressure on Adesanya, and is definitely his toughest task inside the octagon. Gastelum owns wins over Jacare Souza, Michael Bisping, Johny Hendricks, and other top fighters since joining the welterweight division. Adding Adesanya to that list would not be a shock to anyone. Poirier has fought a whos who of fighters between both featherweight and lightweight divisions, including a win over Max Holloway six years ago. Parlaying these two highly talented underdogs will give you a very pretty payday if they both pull the upsets on their way to UFC gold.
