For the very first time in almost 3 years, the UFC is back in Brazil! This weekend in Rio de Janeiro, the UFC returns with its very first pay-per-view occasion of 2023, UFC 283, headlined by an uninhabited light heavyweight title in between Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill, with flyweight tetralogy in between Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno in the co-main occasion. There are 13 other battles on the card, including 15 Brazilians, which implies things are lining up to be a terrific time on Saturday. Without additional ado, let’s get into the bets. As constantly, all chances are thanks to our good friends at DraftKings Sportsbook. Picture by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC by means of Getty Images Straight Bets Brandon Moreno, -125 I felt excellent about this bet prior to battle week, and as this battle has actually gotten better, I am just feeling much better about it. Here are the truths: Moreno and Figueiredo have actually battled 3 times in the past. The very first one, Figueiredo overcame him, however a nasty led to a draw. In the rematch, Moreno took Figgy to school. In the 3rd one, Figueiredo made some modifications and edged out a triumph he possibly didn’t be worthy of upon the rewatch. That’s to be applauded, however it’s difficult to picture Figueiredo, at 35, taking out anymore brand-new wrinkles for this one. Moreno can match Figgy anywhere the battle goes, and now, Figgy is one year older, one year slower, and has actually revealed him the complete toolbox. Contribute to that Moreno has actually got some area from the competition to regroup with the Kai Kara-France win, which Figueiredo seems on Death’s doorstep 2 days prior to he even needs to make weight, and I enjoy Moreno’s possibilities to recover the undeniable flyweight title. Mauricio Rua, +175 Call me a homer, and you may not be incorrect, however I do not care. This is the last flight of Shogun, and I’ll be damned if I’m not going to be cheering for the delighted ending. In a best world, he reverses the clock to 2005 and provides a classic knockout to ride off into the sundown on. Truthfully, any method he gets the win is alright by me. If you require more factor to back Shogun this weekend, simply provide this a listen. Image by Suhaimi Abdullah/NurPhoto through Getty Images Prop Bets Glover Teixeira by Submission, +250 I composed a much deeper breakdown on this battle that you can check out here, so I will not enter much information beyond stating that this is a terrific defend Teixeira. Hill is not a terrific protective wrestler, and he’s not the type of hyper-athlete that has actually offered Teixeira issues prior to. This must be a traditional Glover smothering. Jessica Andrade/Lauren Murphy Over 2.5 Rounds, -120 Andrade is among the very best finishers in all of females’s MMA, however versus Murphy, she’s dealing with somebody harder than a $2 steak. Murphy has actually just been ended up as soon as in her profession, which was by Valentina Shevchenko in the 4th round of their title battle. Andrade most likely wins, however she’s going to need to work for it. Lauren Murphy by Decision, +650 Speaking of Andrade most likely winning, that is no assurance. Andrade is the more athletic, vibrant, and experienced fighter to be sure. Murphy is an outright system, and that kind of fighter has actually provided Andrade issues in the past. Practically each of Andrade’s losses have actually originated from fighters who can match her physicality, be it her perform at bantamweight or Weili Zhang, and Murphy is among those type of fighters. Andrade is going to be much faster and struck more difficult, however Murphy is going to exist every action of the method, and at these chances, I’m taking a flier on her to pull of a significant upset. Neil Magny by Decision, +600 In that very same vein, I’m likewise backing Neil Magny over Gilbert Burns. Once again, Burns is the much better fighter, more vibrant, more effective and athletic, and more competent to boot. The physical variation in this battle is massive, with Magny 5 inches taller and owning a 9-inch reach benefit. That’s a great deal of ground to comprise on the feet, and though Burns is an incredible grappler, he’s not the very best wrestler. There is a world where much of this battle occurs in the clinch, a location where Magny is tricky great, specific with his length benefit there. Selecting directly, I prefer Burns, however Magny can make this a battle and these are huge, huge chances. On an extra note, while I do not excuse parlaying underdogs (since it’s dumb), if you were searching for an extra Long Shot bet, parlay Magny by choice and Murphy by choice pays at a massive +5150. Image by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC Parlay of the Week This parlay was a basic one: I took the greatest Brazilian favorites on the card that I do not currently have a bet down on (or versus) and connected them entirely. Gregory Rodrigues, -300 Probably my least positive leg of the parlay, not since Rodrigues is bad, however due to the fact that the male focuses on home entertainment over battle IQ. Still, “Robocop” has actually shown to be very hazardous and very long lasting, and he ought to get Brunno Ferreira out of there. Thiago Moises, -380 One of the more strange lines on the card. Moises is a legally excellent light-weight who has actually just ever lost to top-tier competitors. Melquizael Costa is coming in on brief notification and lost simply 8 months back in LFA. Moises ought to roll. Jailton Almeida, -975 The word is out on Almeida. We aren’t most likely to get any longer -500 lines with among the most amazing increasing stars in the sport, even for an action up in competitors like Shamil Abdurakhimov. Still, the male is going to do what he constantly does: win in dominant style. Josiane Nunes, -540 Nunes is among the only females’s bantamweight potential customers to have actually emerged recently (despite the fact that this is a featherweight battle) and while she’s not terrific, she is excellent, and she does strike hard. That’s more than can be stated for Zarah Fairn, who is merely not a UFC-caliber fighter. The ‘Uh Vai Morrer” Parlay pays at +120 chances. Picture by Carmen Mandato/Getty Images Long Shot of the Week As specified above, I believe Brandon Moreno will have the very best efficiency of his profession and put this competition with Deiveson Figueiredo to bed, at last. I’m not completely sure how he does it, with a knockout or a submission, however what I am sure about is that he does it in the 4th round. Moreno himself stated he pictures a fourth-round surface, and who am I to call the male a phony? Brandon Moreno to win in Round 4, +2200 Wrap Up Not the very best start to 2023 as we completed somewhat down recently due to our Long Shot not even coming close to striking. I feel quite excellent about this Saturday, so let’s get back on track. Let me understand what y’ all are wagering in the remarks. All the best, and gamble properly!
