Unpredictable Prop Bets to Keep an Eye On
Prop bets are always a fun undertaking, and this time around, bettors are going all out! Kudos to those betting on de Ridder tapping Nickal at +750, but it's highly unlikely given Nickal's wrestling background. You might want to opt for Nickal by early finish instead, especially at +950 or the even more specific +2500 sub under 1.5 rounds.
The betting public seems to be backing Sandhagen for a decision win (-155) and KO/TKO (+365). However, I, for one, don't think Sandhagen will finish Figueiredo. If anything, I'd be rolling the dice with a Nickal R1 finish. But remember, don't chase those miraculous 2500-to-1 shots!

As I see it, I'm placing my money on Sandhagen by decision and perhaps a Nickal R1 finish. So, grab your popcorn and let's witness some MMA magic unfold!
