UFC 305: Tips and predictions for Kara-France vs. Erceg

Fight result (2-way line or moneyline)

In a fight where everything goes well is crucial, it is always a good idea to support the host country's fighter. ERCEG (-186) is a little pricey, but it doesn't exceed my personal limit for a single moneyline bet. Additionally, it's an excellent addition to a multi-leg parlay ticket.

Erceg is just a little more precise with his impactful strikes and he will have the home nation on his side. And if need be, he has the takedown ability in his quiver, which is another aspect that will help sway the judges in his favor.

Over/Under (O/U)

Over 2.5 rounds (-260) will cost you almost three times your potential winnings. That's way too expensive, as is Yes (-215): Will the fight go the full distance? Maybe you can take the latter as part of a parlay bet, but don't think about it right away.

Instead, be a little more specific. We want the favorite to do his job. He will probably win by decision, so take ERCEG BY POINTS (+125) at Plus-Geld is by far cheaper than the options mentioned above.
