VIP Betting Tips for UFC Fight Night 86 – Dos Santos vs Rothwell

UFC Fight Night 86 is unfortunately one of those poor quality regional UFC events that is filled up with a very low standard of MMA fighter. These kinds of events are very difficult to bet on because they are full of inexperienced fighters who are very inconsistent. I personally believe that this is the worst event to bet on since UFC Fight Night Seoul back in November 2015. One thing I have learnt over the years is that it’s important not to place bets for the sake of it. It’s important not to try and find value where there isn’t any. If you are serious about making money and serious about investing in MMA betting, you should stick to placing the one betting tip I have for this event and not be tempted to place anymore bets. I have spent several days researching UFC Fight Night 86 and I can assure you that it’s an absolute minefield for betting. Almost every fighter competing on this card is inconsistent or they have big weaknesses in their skillset that their opponent can easily exploit. I only have one betting tip for UFC Fight Night 86, but I expect it to win easily… [divider style=”solid” top=”20″ bottom=”20″][private]

Damir Hadzovic vs Mairbek Taisumov Betting Tip Prediction

Mairbek Taisumov is a shining light of brilliance in a sea of mediocrity at UFC Fight Night 86. Taisumov is undoubtedly the most skilled fighter competing on this card and yet his fight is stuck on the prelims. I personally believe that Taisumov is one of the hottest prospects in the UFC right now and I also believe that he’d beat many of the fighters currently ranked in the top 15 of the UFC’s lightweight division. Over the last year we’ve seen fighters like Sage Northcutt and Paige VanZant fast tracked to the top of their divisions, only to come crashing down because they didn’t have the skills to match their marketability. Mairbek Taisumov is the complete opposite, because he absolutely has the skills required to compete against the best fighters in the world, but his stoic, Russian demeanor means he’s still fighting regional journeymen on the Prelims of small European events. Mairkbek Taisumov has only been in the UFC a short time, but he’s already put together a 4-1 record in the promotion, with an impressive overall Pro MMA record of 24-5. Taisumov is a special kind of prospect because most of his career fights took place in M1 Global, which is a very good standard of MMA for a regional promotion. This means that Taisumov has gained experience outside of the UFC by competing against a really good level of opponent. This is very different to most other prospects who arrive in the UFC after beating a few semi pro fighters in promotions like Alaskan Fighting Championships and Uncle Sam’s Fight League. We’ve made good money betting on Mairbek Taisumov over the last couple of years and I expect this to continue when he beats Damir Hadzovic at UFC Fight Night 86. Overall we’re 3-0 betting on Taisumov’s fights for a substantial profit of 10.19 units… Damir Hadzovic isn’t a bad fighter, but to beat a guy like Mairbek Taisumov you need to be better than him in at least one area of MMA. You need to be able to outstrike him or take him down or have a chance of catching him in a sub and Hadzovic just isn’t capable of any of those things… Taisumov is such a good fighter because he is absolutely elite in every single aspect of MMA. He has strong wrestling, his striking is excellent, his defence in all areas is excellent, he has knockout power, his takedown defence is superb and he’s a European Jiu Jitsu Champion. There isn’t a single area of MMA that Hadzovic can take this fight where Taisumov won’t be able to dominate and that’s what makes him such a great bet. Take a look at Hadzovic’s last few fights and see for yourself… As you can see, Hadzovic is a decent fighter, but he’s not bringing anything to the table that is going to cause Taisumov a problem. He doesn’t have strong wrestling, he’s not that dangerous on the ground, he doesn’t appear to have knockout power and his striking technique is very traditional and basic. It’s always difficult making your debut in the UFC, but making your debut against a guy like Mairbek Taisumov is absolutely brutal. The UFC are clearly throwing Hadzovic to the Wolves here and I expect Taisumov to dominate almost every single minute of this fight. I personally believe that Taisumov is a great bet. He should win this fight easily…
OUR BETTING TIP: 7.5 Units [7.5% of your bankroll] on Mairbek Taisumov to win at odds of 1.33 | -300 | 33/100 [divider style=”solid” top=”20″ bottom=”20″]
