TAMPA, Fla. – The weekend of combat sports has everything that could be asked for. Spectacles, title fights and more.

Jake Paul Vs. Tyron Woodley 2: The Rematch

In the first fight between these two, Jake Paul ended up walking away with a split decision win although it seemed pretty clear that Tyron Woodley had not done enough to earn a victory despite having a few good moments. Legal online sportsbooks have made Paul a bigger favorite than in the first fight, but the underdog could have value.

Paul won the first fight more or less by throwing more strikes and being the more active fighter. He threw more strikes in seven of the eight rounds ultimately allowing judges to give Paul the close rounds. If Woodley truly cared about winning, he should know with years of experience as a fighter that his biggest problem was volume. If he throws more, he has a solid chance of winning this fight.

Artur Beterbiev Vs. Marcus Browne: WBC/IBF Light-Heavyweight Titles

Artur Beterbiev will put his two belts on the line against Marcus Browne on Saturday night. Those betting on boxing will find Beterbiev as a massive favorite on the moneyline (-1200), but there’s value on his method of victory props.

Considering he has a perfect 16-0 record with all wins coming by way of knockout, Beterbiev’s odds of -250 can be thought of as a steal. It’s not often sportsbooks give out such a price on something that’s happened 16 times in a row, but when they do bettors need to take advantage of it.

Chris Daukaus Vs. Derrick Lewis: UFC Main Event

The weekend’s UFC event is headlined by Chris Daukaus and Derrick Lewis which should make for an exciting heavyweight fight. Although Lewis is unquestionably the bigger name, UFC betting sites favor Daukaus in the fight.

In Daukaus’ first four fights in the UFC, he has been unstoppable. He lands 9.03 significant strikes per minute which would be a UFC record if it was a big enough sample size to qualify. His high work rate does leave him open to a Lewis counterpunch, but his 64% strike defense has proven to be one of the best in the weight class.
