Tonight’s UFC Public Betting Splits
All public betting splits via BetMGM.
Betting Public All Over Yadong Song
The UFC betting public expects an upset in tonight’s headliner between Song Yadong and Ricky Simon. Song has attracted a whopping 61% of the bets for Saturday’s fight and 67% of the handle.
However, despite Song’s popularity, the betting odds have moved against him. Song opened as the favorite, but his opponent, Ricky Simon, now holds the advantage at -120. This is consistent with the numbers at sharp books like Pinnacle, where Simon slots in at -130.
Bettors eager to fade the public should get some action on Simon ahead of tonight’s fight. Remember: if you’re yet to register at BetMGM, you can get your first bet insured up to $1,000! Those yet to take advantage of that offer should do so before tonight’s action gets underway.
Sharps Absolutely Slammed Lima
Marcos Rogerio de Lima opened as a slight favorite at odds of -135 to win Saturday’s fight. But since then, he has drawn a monster 89% of the handle on only 55% of the tickets, which suggests he took big money for sharp bettors. His odds have since tightened to only -185 at BetMGM.
Although not much value remains on the markets for Lima to win Saturday’s fight, bettors may be able to get a better number live once the fight begins. Lima’s current number is still better than what’s available for the other sharp favorite, Caio Borralho, who has attracted 89% of the handle on only 45% of the tickets and now owns odds of -375 to win.
