UFC Picks
The UFC 230 fight card is one of the most lopsided in terms of big favorites that I can ever remember. It seems every single fight has a big favorite. Will UFC 230 be one for the dogs? Oddmakers have Roberson as -285 favorite which could be too high considering he has only fought twice in the UFC. Marshman has only fought four times in the UFC, so it is not like he has a ton of UFC experience either, but Roberson as almost a 3-1 favorite? Perhaps Roberson will end up with the win, but I have to take a small shot on Marshman simply because of the value. I also think there is some value on the total. These two fighters are known as finishers, as they have combined for 14 first round finishes in their careers. I will look for this one to be decided within the distance and go under the rounds total.
