UFC Fight Night 223 Main Card Best Bets

Let’s dive deep into our USA Best Bet experts top picks for Saturday’s UFC sports card.

Best UFC Bet Pick: Mackenzie Dern vs. Angela Hill – Fight to go the Distance – Yes (-135)

Despite Mackenzie Dern being a heavy favorite, Angela Hill’s inconsistency in the UFC shouldn’t be disregarded completely. However, it is more probable that this will be a long and grueling contest that goes the distance. Dern has had four of her last five fights go the distance, while Hill has gone the distance in her past nine fights. Taking these factors into account, we believe that this fight will also go the distance.

Best Bet Sports Pick: Maheshate vs. Viacheslav Borshchev – Fight to go the Distance – Yes (+165)

Viacheslav Borshchev is favored in this fight, but his inconsistent UFC performances make it risky to back him outright. Borshchev has seen his last two fights go the distance, and Maheshate has had two out of his last three UFC fights go the distance as well. Based on these trends, we lean towards this fight also going the distance.

UFC Fight Night 223 Preliminary Card Best Bet

Best Bet Sports Pick: Karolina Kowalkiewicz ML over Vanessa Demopoulos (-130)

Karolina Kowalkiewicz, with a record of 14-7 in MMA and 7-7 in the UFC, enters this fight. She maintains an average of 5.34 significant strikes per minute with a striking accuracy of 40%. Kowalkiewicz absorbs 5.55 strikes and has a striking defense of 57%. However, her grappling skills have not been as impressive, averaging 0.34 takedowns per 15 minutes, with a takedown accuracy of 30% and a takedown defense of 75%.

Despite some inconsistencies in her UFC career, Kowalkiewicz seems to be the right choice in this matchup. Her striking superiority over Vanessa Demopoulos leads us to back Kowalkiewicz for the victory.
