These are some weird numbers. BetMGM users are abusing the first fight of the night — Julia Avila vs Jacqueline Cavalcanti — with 80% of the handle on Cavalcanti. Cavalcanti is 3-0 in the UFC, and betting action ahead of the weekend has pushed her from -400 to -700.
I'd also consider submissions on Cannonier's end unlikely. He has zero UFC submission wins and Rodrigues is also an esteemed grappler. Please do not bet this. Instead, take Cannonier to win by decision at +550. That's also very good value and a far likelier outcome than a "Killa Gorilla" submission.
