Dern v Rodriguez - Fight Night Betting Preview

Here at FightBets we will be posting complete breakdowns of odds and picks for all UFC events. However, as we’re just starting out and there are plenty of tasks left to do on our launch we’re just going to cover the one fight this weekend: Dern v Rodriguez.

The headline fight this weekend is two strawweight contenders - Mackenzie Dern and Marina Rodriguez ranked number 4 and number 6 respectively.

What we’re looking forward to in this fight is that it’s really a clash of styles. Dern, being a former Jui-Jitsu champion will have the clear advantage if the fight goes to the ground. Rodriguez is known more as a striker with aggressive, knock-out power.

One thing we’re confident on is that the fight is unlikely to go the distance - we can see either there being a submission or knock-out before the five rounds are up.

*Odds correct as of 8th Oct, 11:00 GMT

Looking at the odds, the bookmakers are clearly favoriting Dern with a best price of 1.6 (decimal returns), whereas Rodriguez is quite a way behind at 2.35.

*Odds correct as of 8th Oct, 11:00 GMT

Neither are going to return much on a head to head price, so, we’ll be looking at a method of victory bet. We’re going for Rodriguez by KO at a price of 4.0 at Unibet
