UFC 327: Prochazka vs. Ulberg predictions

One of the model's top UFC 327 picks: It is backing Over 1.5 rounds (+3.8% edge) in the light heavyweight bout of Dominick Reyes vs. Johnny Walker, which returns +149. "My model shows 44.0% probability this fight goes Over 1.5 rounds," McClure said. "The decision rate is 49% in simulation and the average fight length comes out to 2.20 rounds. Both fighters have shown they can take punishment and keep competing. The chins are there, the cardio is there, and I expect this to be a longer fight than the market is pricing in." See who else to back here.
