Date: March 26, 2022
Location: Nationwide Arena, Columbus, OH
Time: Main Card on ESPN/ESPN at 7:00 PM
Curtis Blaydes vs. Chris Daukaus Prediction
This is an excellent showcase for an elite grappler (Blaydes) and rising striker (Daukaus) to square off in a pivotal matchup. Both fighters recently have lost against Derrick Lewis within their last two fights, who is deadly with his one-punch knockout power.
Blaydes is arguably the best heavyweight grappler out there and will most definitely use his aggressive 6.27 takedown average in each fight to his advantage in this one. Daukaus has not seen this type of wrestling and has some lighter weight and reach differences that will affect his performance. Look for the method of victory for better odds.
Best Bet: Blaydes to Win by TKO/KO at -110
Joanne Wood vs. Alexa Grasso Prediction
This matchup could be one of the more compelling fights of the night for two strikers. Wood and Grasso love to let their hands fly.
Grasso has quicker movement and puts out a lot of strikes in comparison to Wood. Most likely, Grasso will corner Wood and be able to land shots and prolong the fight. She most likely will win, but odds are slightly better at a distance fight.
Best Bet: Grasso Wins By Decision at -150
Matt Brown vs. Bryan Barberena Prediction
Brown is competing in his hometown and has a great opportunity to get the crowd fired up with a knockout. Barberena appears to be taking a step back in his MMA career, which is unfortunate.
This matchup will be another striking fest, but it could favor Brown. He will likely win, and he has good value to win by knockout.
Best Bet: Brown By TKO/KO at +165
Askar Askarov vs. Kai Kara-France Prediction
Askarov will likely be too much to handle for Kara-France. He has been great on the ground and finds ways to win no matter what.
He is also an excellent parlay piece, given his current odds to win, but you could look at potentially better value at a submission. So if you want a safer bet to add onto your parlay, look for Askarov to be the winner.
Best Bet: Askarov Wins at -380
