Greatest Betting Win
My favorite memory of betting on sports came when I played a future on the Georgia Bulldogs to win the National Championship in 2021 at a Harrah’s Casino in Murphy, North Carolina. The Dawgs were perfect in the regular season that year, and then lost to the Alabama Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship. They still clinched a spot in the College Football playoff, where they ran over Michigan, and beat Alabama in a rematch for the National Championship game.
Greatest Achievements
One of my greatest achievements came recently when I had a bet on Nottingham Forest to avoid relegation in the 2022/2023 EPL season. I made this bet in the Summer of 2022. Forest had just been promoted, so were favorites to be one of the teams to go straight down. Most of the season, Forest struggled, hovering between 16th-20th place. By April and May, Forest had started picking up a few wins. In the penultimate week of the season, Forest played Arsenal, a team they were heavy underdogs to. Nottingham ended up winning 1-0, ensuring they would stay up and cashing my bet.

Matthew's Picks

Method of Victory Pick
Fight to End by KO/TKO(+130)

The first fight on the Main Card at UFC Fight Night 269 will see Vitor Petrino take on Steven Asplund. This will be a fight in the UFC Heavyweight division. Petrino enters this fight with an MMA record of 13-2 and 7-2 in the UFC. He is averaging 2.75 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 46%. Petrino is absorbing 2.48 strikes and has a striking defense of 47%. His grappling has been elite, averaging 3.04 takedowns every 15 minutes. He has a takedown accuracy of 51% and a takedown defense of 79%.

Asplund enters this fight with an MMA record of 7-1 and 2-0 in the UFC. He is averaging 19.93 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 58%. Asplund absorbs 7.49 strikes and has a striking defense of 57%. He has not shown any grappling ability, but has a takedown defense of 100%.

Petrino is the heavy favorite in this fight; therefore, we will be looking at the exact method of victory. Asplund may only have 2 UFC fights under his belt, but both of them have ended by KO/TKO. Petrino, on the other hand, has seen 2 of his last 3 UFC fights end by KO/TKO. Therefore, based on the fact that both fighters have shown immense striking ability, backing this fight to end by KO/TKO will be our play.

Method of Victory Pick
Delgado Win by Finish(-150)

The third fight on the Main Card at UFC Fight 269 will see Andre Fili take on Jose Delgado. This will be a fight in the UFC Featherweight division. Fili enters this fight with an MMA record of 25-12 and 13-11 in the UFC. He is averaging 3.87 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 37%. Fili absorbs 4.23 strikes and has a striking defense of 51%. His grappling is also solid, averaging 2.22 takedowns every 15 minutes. His takedown accuracy of 45%, and his takedown defense is 71%.

Delgado enters this fight with an MMA record of 10-2 and 3-1 in the UFC. He is averaging 8.22 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 54%. Delgado is absorbing 5.44 strikes and has a striking defense of 48%. His grappling ability is also solid, averaging 1.81 takedowns every 15 minutes. He has a takedown accuracy of 42% and a takedown defense of 60%.

Delgado is the significant favorite in this fight; therefore, we will be looking at the method of victory for him. Fili has been inconsistent recently, going 4-5 in his last 9 UFC fights. During this stretch, Fili has lost 3 times by finish.

Delgado, on the other hand, has won all 10 of his career MMA fights by finish, which includes all 3 of his UFC wins. For that reason, backing Delgado to win by finish will be our lean.

Money Line Pick
Robertson Win(-198)

The Co-Main Event at UFC Fight Night 269 will see Amanda Lemos take on Gillian Robertson. This will be a fight in the UFC Women’s Strawweight division. Lemos enters this fight with an MMA record of 15-5-1 and 9-5 in the UFC. She is averaging 2.75 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 55%. Lemos is absorbing 3.24 strikes and has a striking defense of 45%. Her grappling is just decent, averaging 1.02 takedowns every 15 minutes. She has a takedown accuracy of 62% and a takedown defense of 64%.

Robertson enters this fight with an MMA record of 16-8 and 13-6 in the UFC. She averages 2.86 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 48%. Robertson absorbs 2.86 strikes and has a striking defense of 56%. Her grappling has also been solid, averaging 2.74 takedowns every 15 minutes. Her takedown accuracy is 40%, and her takedown defense is 41%.

Robertson is the clear favorite in this fight; however, she still looks to be the best betting option. Over her last 7 UFC fights, Robertson is 6-1, while during the same stretch, Lemos is 4-3. Robertson also has the advantage in striking volume and grappling, so because she is in better form, backing Robertson to win will be our best bet.

Method of Victory Pick
Fight to End by KO/TKO(-140)

The second fight on the Main Card at UFC Fight Night 269 will see Marwan Rahiki take on Harry Hardwick. This will be a fight in the UFC Featherweight division. Rahiki enters this fight with an MMA record of 7-0 and 1-0 in the UFC. He is averaging 5.96 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 47%. Rahiki absorbs 6.10 strikes and has a striking defense of 56%. While he has not landed any takedowns in his lone UFC Contender Series fight, Rahiki averages 2.1 submission attempts every 15 minutes. Further, he has a takedown defense of 100%.

Rahiki is the overwhelming favorite; therefore, we will be looking at the exact method of victory. Hardwick has seen just 4 of his 18 career MMA fights end by KO/TKO, but this includes his lone UFC fights. Rahiki, on the other hand, has seen 6 of his 7 career MMA fights end by KO/TKO, which also includes his lone UFC fight. Both fighters have already shown their knockout power in the UFC, while neither has shown much grappling ability. For that reason, backing this fight to end by KO/TKO will be our lean.

Money Line Pick
Sy Win(-238)

The fourth fight on the Main Card at UFC Fight Night 269 will see Ion Cutelaba take on Oumar Sy. This will be a fight in the UFC Light Heavyweight division. Cutelaba enters this fight with an MMA record of 19-11-1 and 8-10-1 in the UFC. He averages 4.26 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 43%. Cutelaba absorbs 3.34 strikes and has a striking defense of 47%. His grappling ability has also been solid, averaging 3.77 takedowns every 15 minutes. He has a takedown accuracy of 49% and a takedown defense of 77%.

Sy enters this fight with an MMA record of 12-1 and 3-1 in the UFC. He is averaging 3.67 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 48%.

He has a takedown accuracy of 36% and a takedown defense of 100%.

Sy is the heavy favorite in this fight; however, he still looks to be the best betting option. Cutelaba has been inconsistent for some time now, having gone 3-5 in his last 8 UFC fights. Sy, on the other hand, has lost just once in the UFC, though he has significantly fewer UFC fights. That being said, Sy has done a much better job at absorbing damage, while also having a perfect takedown defense. For that reason, backing Sy to win will be our lean.

His takedown accuracy is 28%, and his takedown defense is 83%.

Vallejos is one of the biggest favorites on the fight card; therefore, we will be looking at his method of victory. Through 5 UFC fights, Vallejos has won 3 of them by finish. Emmett, on the other hand, is 1-4 in his last 5 UFC fights, which includes 2 losses by finish. Overall, Vallejos has won 14 of his 17 career MMA fights by finish; therefore, backing the same here will be our best bet.
