There’s a good deal of gambling value on UFC 222 (Sat., March 3, 10:00 p.m. ET).
Will the extended layoff for Zingano and Caraway hurt their chances in winning?
Can Mike Pyle (+250) complete his career off with a triumph for bettors?
Due to trauma UFC 222 is overlooking featherweight champ Max Holloway and that is a damn shame. However, in the co-main event, perennial title contender Frankie Edgar will lock horns with towering Brian Ortega to decide who really deserves the following shot Holloway’s gold.
Over on the ladies side of this division, UFC Women’s Featherweight Champion Cris Cyborg returns to action to face UFC newcomer Yana Kunitskaya. Why is the main event, many are wondering? I guess the powers that be sensed lovers could be marketed on the joys of seeing a lion maul a lamb.
On paper, this looks like a card but these are those that sneak up on youpersonally, and if you enjoy gambling on mixed martial arts, then this card is stacked with potential profit.
We played it safe and went 1-1 however we came ahead and that’s what we’re looking to perform this week with all our best bets for UFC 222.

The pay-per-view will cost us around $60, so we’ll need a way to make that money back. Below are 3 straight bets which are worth taking and we could’ve easily taken more. Even though the odds are hot on Brian Ortega (+160) and Cat Zingano (+132), we go in another direction.
BRYAN CARAWAY (+140) vs. CODY STAMANN (-160)
This really is really a moneyline on BetOnline.ag you quickly need to jump because there is no way Bryan Caraway (21-7) should be an underdog in this battle.
“Kid Lightning” has been on the sidelines the past few years due to trauma but let’s not neglect the man total skill set and preceding Octagon success. Do not get me wrong, Cody Stamann (16-1) is no slouch either, ” he upset a top prospect in Tom Duquesnoy at UFC 216, but Caraway is his toughest competition to date.
Not only can Caraway push the pace and maintain Stamann from the grappling department, he has a 68??? reach benefit in the striking that will let him work his scope like he did against Eddie Wineland.
Me doesn’t concern. Caraway is just better regardless of where this bout goes and that he fights at this a grueling pace that Stamann will be ceased.
