Giga Chikadze Vs. Calvin Kattar Odds
Chikadze is one of the biggest rising stars in the sport of MMA and will be headlining his second straight event on Saturday. Online sportsbooks have him favored with -250 odds on the moneyline, but there may be more value on him to win inside the distance.
Giga Chikadze Method Of Victory Odds
- Inside The Distance +105
- By Decision +250
Chikadze has won three straight fights by knockout and has earned a performance bonus in all three instances.

The difference is that Chikadze has much more power in both his punches and kicks than Holloway does.

Royval vs Bontorin Moneyline Odds
- Brandon Royval -170
- Rogerio Bontorin +140
Bontorin has lost each of his last three fights and has done so against lesser competition than what Royval has been facing. Royval has a 100% takedown accuracy in his UFC career while Bontorin has a negative striking differential, showing Royval should be able to do more or less whatever he wants in this fight.
T.J. Brown Vs. Charles Rosa Odds
T.J. Brown is favored over Charles Rosa and it may be the biggest mistake the sportsbooks have made for the entire event. Brown is simply not a good fighter. He holds a 15-8 record and has just one win in the UFC and it’s almost unanimously considered a mistake in judging.
Brown vs Rosa Moneyline Odds
- T.J. Brown -240
- Charles Rosa +190
Brown aimlessly shoots takedowns and lands 4.07 per 15 minutes despite having just 58% takedown accuracy. He’s one-dimensional and inefficient, giving Rosa an easy win if he’s a respectable fighter which he does seem to be. Take the underdog in this spot.
