Welcome back to Best, Prop, Value. Today is day eight and will consist of three bets all taking place in the combat sports field.

After seven days of baseball heavy betting, we are heading over to the UFC octagon and Boxing ring to cash some bets tonight.

Tonight will bring us one of the biggest fighting days of the year with a stacked UFC card top to bottom culminating in a rematch between Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje for the BMF belt.

Following the UFC card will be one of the biggest boxing matches of the decade, with the long awaited super fight between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr finally taking place.

Years of anticipation where both of these fighters held spots inside the top five pound for pound rankings will finally be over when this bout starts. 

For the best bet we head to Las Vegas, Nevada.

Best Bet

Terence Crawford -148

I’m torn on this fight as I’m a fan of both and would not be mad seeing either one win, but my money is siding with the pound for pound king Terence Crawford.

Sporting a 39-0 record he’s been dominating the sport for years now as he has 30 knockout victories.

Terence Crawford’s welterweight run consists of 6 WBO title defences, 10 knockdowns and 7 KO’s❗️

Spence has done the same though, as he is 28-0 with 22 KO victories and currently holds three belts.

This fight should be a war from start to finish that I believe ultimately ends with Crawford winning in a very tight fight.

Prop Bet

Justin Gaethje by TKO +250

Gaethje is one of the most feared strikers in the UFC with 20 of his 24 wins coming by stoppage.

He possesses one punch knockout power in both hands and is unrelenting in the pressure he pushes during his fights.

He is constantly in the pocket letting it fly, though he has cleaned up his recklessness quite a bit since the younger version of himself.

Poirier took the first fight by TKO in round four, but it was by no means a bad fight for Gaethje as he arguably won three of the rounds before that. 

This one will be a war that will likely end before the final bell.

Value Bet

Justin Gaethje +128

The value bet could be the same as the prop bet but in order to hedge the bets a little bit, we will just go with Gaethje to win here.

Poirier is also a dog and a talented fighter who will make it hard for Gaethje to catch him with a KO shot, so for the value bet here we will just take Gaethje moneyline, in a fight that can go either way.
