I've got some key UFC Seattle parlays lined up for this huge UFC Fight Night card, headlined by Henry Cejudo and Song Yadong.
I'm backing the underdog Cejudo in the main event, so we'll be cautious with him in our parlays. Still, I'll work to maximize the value on our UFC Seattle bets as much as possible.
Here are my two parlays for Feb. 22.
UFC Seattle: Big Winners (+122)
- Anthony Hernandez (-300)
- Jean Silva inside the distance (+122)
I'm locking in a parlay on Anthony Hernandez and Jean Silva to win. Hernandez is a relentless wrestler with a gas tank that breaks opponents. Allen’s best shot is an opportunistic submission, but I trust Hernandez to survive and control the fight.
Silva, meanwhile, is one of the UFC’s most exciting prospects and faces an opponent in Melsik Baghdasaryan who has been largely inactive. Silva’s pressure, power, and striking volume should be too much for Melsik to handle. I knew I wanted to bet on both fighters as soon as I saw the matchups, so I’m going big on this parlay.
UFC Seattle: Underdog Action (+631)
- Rob Font (+125)
- Henry Cejudo (+225)
Cejudo’s wrestling is on another level, and that’s going to be a problem for Song Yadong. He’s also got way more experience in big fights, which means he knows how to handle the pressure and make adjustments mid-fight. If he mixes in his wrestling with his improved striking, I think he grinds out a win.
As for Rob Font, I like him in this matchup because he’s got cleaner boxing and way more experience at a high level. Matsumoto is undefeated, but he hasn’t fought anyone close to Font’s skill level. If Font can keep the fight standing and use his jab to control the range, I think he will pick Matsumoto apart.
