Anthony Smith, Ovince Saint Preaux, and Drew Dober are among those favored by the best sportsbooks for US players at UFC on ESPN 9. UFC Fight Night: Smith vs. Teixeira (also known as UFC Fight Night 175) will be a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. It is expected to take place on May 13, 2020 at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida, United States.
Updated Smith vs. Teixeira Betting Odds
| Fighter | Odds |
|---|---|
| Anthony Smith | -170 |
| Glover Teixeira | +140 |
I think Smith is approaching this all wrong, wanting to become the first man to make Glover tap out. Teixeira has the momentum going in, while Lionheart is returning from an injury. Smith should go about it in the simple way. Instead, he will attempt to submit a man who, for all we know, maybe unsubmittable. Also, there is that statement he made recently; “I’m trying to be a little smarter with my hands these days”. As we know, he broke his hand in his previous match about 11 months ago. I don’t know, but to me, that sounds like he is going to hold back. And you can’t hold back in the octagon. All things considered, I would fade the best online sportsbooks and take Glover to win by decision.
Updated Rothwell vs. Saint Preux Betting Odds
| Fighter | Odds |
|---|---|
| Ben Rothwell | +120 |
| Ovince Saint Preux | -150 |
OSP is a 12-year veteran with 37 fights under his belt – 20 in the UFC. But this will be his heavyweight divisional debut. If OSP retains his speed and agility even with the extra weight, then he should walk away the winner.
Updated Hernandez vs. Dober Betting Odds
| Fighter | Odds |
|---|---|
| Alexander Hernandez | -110 |
| Drew Dober | -120 |
According to this, “Hernandez has peeved many MMA fans for his cerebral nature and explicit interviews.” But according to this, he’s far from being the sharpest tool in the shed (not that you really need to be in this line of work, of course). Meanwhile, Dober has been enjoying a lot of success against some pretty good competition. Moreover, he comes prepared for a long and grueling match that will put both fighters’ conditioning to the test. Bettors at the best sportsbooks for US players should take Dober. In fact, I would daresay he will extend his (T)KO-in-the-first-round winning streak to three fights.
Updated Borg vs. Simon Betting Odds
| Fighter | Odds |
|---|---|
| Ray Borg | +145 |
| Ricky Simon | -175 |
Borg said he would retire if he missed weight again, but he has already backtracked. What a surprise. This man is a flake, everybody! I hesitate to call any man who strips to his shorts, gets in a cage, and attempts to beat the living tar out of a fellow human being “professional”. But Borg takes the cake. Say what you will about a waste of skin like Conor McGregor, but at least he takes this aspect of his life seriously. What I’m trying to say to users of the best USA sportsbooks is, by all means, take Simon. Don’t bet on Borg. Don’t waste money on him. I would rather burn a $100 bill than bet on this guy, even if I knew I would win.
Updated Roberson vs. Vettori Betting Odds
| Fighter | Odds |
|---|---|
| Karl Roberson | +140 |
| Marvin Vettori | -170 |
Vettori is younger but more experienced and has been more successful against stiffer competition. However, the Italian may be looking past Baby K, what with him lobbying for a rematch with Israel Adesanya. “Give me my deserved chance and I’ll beat him again, this time without leaving any doubt,” Vettori tweeted recently. Meanwhile, Roberson had a later start in the biz, but is eager to make up for any lost time. It might be a sage move to fade the best sportsbooks for US players on this one.
