UFC on ESPN 47 Props
Marvin Vettori vs. Jared Cannonier Prop Pick
Jared Cannonier has promised to finish Vettori, which he believes would get him another shot at the middleweight title. If he fulfills his promise, itโs going to be the first-ever loss inside the distance for Marvin Vettori.
However, we donโt think thatโs going to happen. Sure, โThe Killa Gorillaโ is a great finisher with a knockout-to-win ratio of 62.5%. But this doesnโt worry โThe Italian Dreamโ too much. After all, heโs already fought many knockout experts โ Paulo Costa (78.57%), Israel Adesanya (66.66%), and others.
We donโt think Cannonier can finish Vettori, but what about the other way around? Although Vettori does have what it takes to finish his opponents, the 29-year-old has been a marathon fighter over the last couple of years. In fact, since ing the UFC in 2016, heโs fought 12 bouts and 10 of those lasted until the final bell.

Arman Tsarukyan vs. Joaquim Silva Prop Pick
Arman Tsarukyan is a well-rounded fighter with a great fight IQ, whoโs patient and composed in every fight. Joaquim Silva is just the opposite. This guy likes to take risks, which explains why each of his four previous UFC fights saw a KO/TKO finish โ he did it to two opponents, while another two did that to him.
Tsarukyan is seen as a huge favorite in the June 17 co-main event, and it really isnโt a question of whoโs gonna win the fight. Instead, itโs when the fight will end.

We think Tsarukyan is going to test the waters in Round 1 to see what the best way is to finish Silva (and not get finished while trying). Itโs the second round in which we think heโs gonna go on the offensive. And when he goes all-in on Silva, thatโs the end of the fight.

| Arman Tsarukyan to win in Round 2 |
Armen Petrosyan vs. Christian Leroy Duncan Prop Pick
Christian Leroy Duncan is 8-0 in his professional career and seven of those were finishes. Six times he won by KO/TKO, which is what we suspect he might do on Saturday as well.
Still, knowing that Armen Petrosyan is a dangerous fella as well (with an 8-2 record and six wins by KO/TKO), our best prop bet for this fight wonโt involve the winner. Instead, our prop pick is that Petrosyan vs. Duncan will not go the distance.
| UFC Prop Bet | Odds |
|---|---|
| Petrosyan vs. Duncan to go the distance โ No |
Pat Sabatini vs. Lucas Almeida Prop Pick
Pat Sabatini is a collegiate wrestler-turned-expert grappler with a BJJ black belt. Knowing this, itโs almost certain that heโs gonna go for a takedown against Lucas Almeida on Saturday, trying to get a submission win.
Almeidaโs never lost a fight by a finish, but thatโs because he hasnโt fought an opponent as good as Sabatini. We think Sabatini will beat Almeida by submission, although a โground-and-poundโ win wouldnโt surprise us either.
| UFC Prop Bet | Odds |
|---|---|
| Pat Sabatini to win by KO, TKO, DQ or submission |
Manuel Torres vs. Nikolas Motta
Manuel Torres is 13-2 with each of his last six wins happening in the first round. Heโll try to prolong his run, thus risking getting put to sleep by Nikolas Motta.
We think both fighters have the ability to KO one another, which is why our prop pick for this fight is that it wonโt last for too long.

|---|---|
| Manuel Torres vs. Nikolas Motta to go the distance โ No |
