Orolbai is the significant favorite in this fight; however, still looks to be the best betting option. Hermansson has been inconsistent in the UFC recently, going 4-5 in his last 9 UFC fights. Hermansson does have the advantage in striking advantage, but Orolbai is much better at grappling. Therefore, because Hermansson has been wildly inconsistent in the UFC, backing Orolbai to win will be our lean.
