UFC Vegas 80: Picks, Odds And Predictions

Montana De La Rosa (12-8-1) vs. JJ Aldrich (12-6)

Letting Go Intriguing women’s flyweight match between Montana De La Rosa and JJ Aldrich will take place at UFC Vegas 80.

Despite having just suffered back-to-back defeats, De La Rosa has faced far tougher opposition than Aldrich. Although this bout will probably take place mostly on the mat, both men have a poor striking difference throughout their UFC histories. De La Rosa is the significantly more skilled grappler in that situation.

UFC Vegas 80 Best Bet: Montana De La Rosa (-135)

Alex Morono (23-8) vs. Joaquin Buckley (16-6)

Alex Morono is anticipated to be a -150 to -160 favourite when Alex Morono vs. Joaquin Buckley was scheduled, but getting the Fortis MMA product as the underdog makes this a must-play for me.

A big reason why bookies value Buckley so highly is his highlight-reel knockout victory from 2020. Chris Curtis and Alessio Di Chirico were both able to KO him, thus his chin is still very much in doubt.

Morono is mostly a striker with a strong chin and the ability to dominate opponents. It can be anticipated that Morono to gain control of this battle as it goes on because his cardio is also one of his finest weapons.

While Buckley only scores 3.76 significant strikes each minute, Morono presently scores 5.2.

UFC Vegas 80 Best Bet: Alex Morono (+142)

Grant Dawson (20-1-1) vs. Bobby Green (30-14-1)

The always-entertaining Bobby Green will square off against Grant Dawson in the UFC Vegas 80 main event.

It’s a fairly simple fight: Green wants to stay on his feet and outstrike Dawson, while Dawson will try to wrestle and dominate Green. Green’s dilemma is that he lacks the ability to knock someone out with a single punch, so if he wants to win, he’ll probably have to keep the fight going for the full 25 minutes.

Dawson, on the other hand, is content to slog through battles and hunt for a late submission. Given that this is Dawson’s first five-round fight in the UFC.

The best method to approach the fight is to open Round 3 at -168. It is believed that Dawson will take Green to the ground and secure a late finish.
