Here are some thoughts on how to bet on two of the high-profile undercard skirmishes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jared_Cannonier_-121_vs_Robert_Whittaker_100_middleweight_185_pounds\"><\/span><strong>Jared Cannonier -121 vs. Robert Whittaker +100, middleweight (185 pounds)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whittaker held the middleweight title until Israel Adesanya finished him in October 2019. Since then, Whittaker beat Darren Till via a five-round decision in a fight in which neither looked impressive.<\/p>\n<p>Whittaker has a vast experience advantage over Cannonier and has fought in many five-round main events, which can only pad his confidence. For this three-round co-main event, I expect both to forget measured tactics and instead go right after each other.<\/p>\n<p>Cannonier started his career fighting heavyweight, then light-heavyweight and has now found a home at middleweight, where he has fared quite well. At middleweight, Cannonier\u2019s explosion, power and striking are lethal, and he has an underrated ground <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>. Cannonier has been smacked by much larger men than Whittaker, and while Whittaker has a whale of a left hook, it\u2019s something Cannonier is preparing for \u2014 even though he does not want to taste it much.<\/p>\n<p>For Whittaker, this fight is his career. He earns another title chance with a win. But with a setback he free-falls down the middleweight ranks. Whittaker\u2019s previous wars have affected the quickness, snap and fluidity of his strikes. It h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ens that those are the exact attributes his opponent totes into the cage Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>Cannonier\u2019s speed, explosive striking, hunger for recognition and ability to weather heavy strikes from men well larger than Whittaker provide an advantage. By Round 2 I expect to see the snap of Whittaker\u2019s strikes fading as he begins to slow. At that point, Cannonier will be most dangerous.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The pick:<\/strong> Cannonier, -121.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alexander_Volkov_-189_vs_Walt_Harris_155_heavyweight_265_pounds\"><\/span><strong>Alexander Volkov -189 vs. Walt Harris +155, heavyweight (265 pounds)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Harris is a great human who is a tremendous fighter for six minutes or so. At 37, Harris is explosive, has profuse power and is as game as they get.<\/p>\n<p>But Volkov will be the younger man by six years and will hold height and reach advantages besides being the more complete, well-rounded striker. Wrestling has been considered a major weakness for Volkov, but he used it quite well in his last bout against the division\u2019s top wrestler and he might need to employ it against the 6-foot-5, 265-pound Harris, who will be looking to put out his lights.<\/p>\n<p>In my judgment, Harris has a round and a half to catch Volkov or tackle him to the canvas and try to get on top to employ a heavy dose of ground and pound. If he cannot end this early, I look for Volkov to remain at distance and pick Harris apart with his superior striking.<\/p>\n<p>The strategy: Volkov opened -195, but we\u2019ve seen some Harris money compress this line a bit. I like Volkov at -160 or less, but will use patience to see if his price gets there.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">News category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/10\/24\/ufc-254-line-prediction-jarod-cannonier-will-win-at-fight-island\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Jarod Cannonier vs. Robert Whittaker&#8221; The main card for UFC 254 from Fight Island in the United Arab Emirates begins at an unusually early 2 p.m. ET on Saturday, as the UFC tries to accommodate the fans of Russian lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
