Francis Ngannou opens as betting favorite vs. Jon Jones, Daniel Cormier in potential fights

BAD MMA News — Tue, 19 May 2020 21:51:44 +0000

Who’s next for Francis Ngannou ? That question has been one of the hottest topics in the mixed martial arts world since Ngannou made a statement with a 20-second knockout of Jairzinho Rozenstruik at UFC 249. That made it four straight knockout wins over top-notch competition for Ngannou, with the longest fight in the streak lasting 1:11. While Ngannou’s logical next fight would seem to be a matchup with UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic, things are rarely that simple. Miocic is expected to meet Daniel Cormier in a trilogy fight, but there’s been public push-and-pull between Miocic and UFC president Dana White, mostly centered on Miocic’s desire to be able to train like a professional athlete while also serving as a first responder during the coronavirus pandemic. With that in mind, two other options have captured fans’ imagination: One, an interim title matchup between Ngannou and former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier , should Miocic stay sidelined

Here’s an intriguing Super Bowl prop bet involving Conor McGregor and Jimmy Garoppolo

BAD MMA News — Fri, 31 Jan 2020 23:52:51 +0000

Super Bowl LIV between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs takes place Sunday in Miami, and with it will come a whole lot of betting. Of course, you can wager on normal things like the spread, which lists the Chiefs -1.5, and the over/under, which sits at 54.5, as of this writing, according to BetMGM . There’s also a host of player prop bets to consider – like Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ passing yards total or 49ers tight end George Kittle’s receiving yards total, for example. There’s just so much you can bet on when it comes to the big game. But as if there wasn’t enough, there’s also this ridiculous prop bet with the MMA fan in mind that involves picking 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo or UFC star Conor McGregor (via online book SportsBetting.ag ): Jimmy Garoppolo rushing yards (-200) Conor McGregor next fight total rounds (+150) If you bet on Garoppolo, you’d need to put $200 down just to make $100.
