Dana White's Contender Series predictions: Season 7 Week 4 odds, picks

It’s Tuesday night, and there are fights to bet on.

Season 7 Week 4 arrives with five fights on the card and a few contracts likely to be given out to hopeful and motivated fighters.

Below we break down some low-level MMA contests where I like many of the underdogs to show out…

Dana White’s Contender Series Season 7 Week 4

Bolaji Oki vs. Dylan Salvador

The curtain jerker for tonight’s card should be plenty interesting as Bolaji Oki faces Dylan Salvador as a +150 underdog on Bet365.

Oki trains at Xtreme Couture, a very solid training camp for him to train at in this kind of competition.

Salvador is a favorite here because he is a very strong kicker and has some good striking volume, a combination that you typically would like to bet on.

However, Oki has the grappling and power upside while also having a substantial size advantage.

Those three in combination make +150 very tasty and a definite bet for me tonight.

Chandler Cole vs. Thomas Peterson

Chandler Cole is going to be undersized against Thomas Peterson, so don’t be shocked when you see a guy 5-foot-10, 264-pound fighter in the octagon who you bet on.

But let’s get on his side now that it’s still +300 on BetRivers as sharp action comes in on Cole throughout the day today. He opened at +450.

This fight is going to be a slog throughout and will be ugly, but we’re looking at Cole because he’s an extremely powerful striker who can knock anyone unconscious.

If this fight gets past round one, look to hedge out of your Cole position.

But this one could be a firefight throughout and Cole at +300 is still good enough odds to act on, but not worth betting at the +260 range you’ll find on other sites.

Mateo Vogel vs. Timothy Cuamba

No strong lean here, Vogel and Cuamba are both strong fighters.

This one could go the distance, although +158 on FanDuel isn’t quite enticing enough to bet despite that being the best market odds.

Marco Tulio Silva vs. Yousri Belgaroui

Another GLORY kickboxer steps up as Yousri Belgaroui will face Marco Tulio Silva in a competitive MMA fight.

Belgaroui fought Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya so this could be a setup for a highlight-reel knockout.

His grappling looks extremely average at face value, but he should improve there after training with Glover Teixeira and Alex Pereira in Connecticut.

My issue with this is Pereira himself hasn’t shown that much improvement in grappling and Tulio Silva is a vastly better wrestler and clinch specialist.

Not overly confident in this one, but I lean towards Tulio Silva at +120 on BetMGM and the number is very important. Not a bet below these odds.

Carlos Prates vs. Mitch Ramirez

Main event time, as Mitch Ramirez comes in at +205 opposite Carlos Prates.

Prates has a crazy backstory in which he went to jail and had some drug use issues.

But Ramirez comes into this fight as a very well-rounded undefeated prospect, albeit probably against the worst competition.

Prates has been around for a long time, taking fights since 2012 going 16-6.

He is a solid kickboxer and would hope to win this one by knockout on the feet but Ramirez has a good enough striking that I think he can hold his own and eventually grapple Prates.

Buy-in on Ramirez this evening only at the +230 price on Caesars, he is not worth a bet in the +190 range you’ll on most other sites.
