UFC Fight Night 233: Bobby Green vs. Jalin Turner picks and predictions

TURNER (-184) is a good play straight up on the 2-way line. He holds an overwhelming 6-inch reach advantage, which will allow the favorite to push and pull Green (+154) in and out, picking and choosing his spots to strike rather carefully. When he doesn't want Green next to him, he'll be able to use the reach advantage to hold him at bay.

If he elects to pass on a toe-to-toe upright battle, Turner is a tremendous grappler, and he holds a 1.27-to-0.32 submission average advantage. As far as method of victory, taking TURNER BY SUBMISSION (+500) allows you a chance to multiply your initial wager by 5 times.

NO (-168): WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE? is a little on the pricey side, but it's worth a roll of the dice. I think Turner is able to tap Green here, so why not also play this prop.

However, not a huge fan of the Total Rounds, as Over 1.5 Rounds (-182) is just way too expensive, and Under 1.5 (+142) is not nearly enough time, although it obviously is the more attractive play and better value.
