UFC 222 Predictions & Picks: Everyone Pyle On!

There is a lot of gambling value on UFC 222 (Sat., March 3, 10:00 p.m. ET).
Will the layoff for Caraway and Zingano hurt their chances?
Can Mike Pyle (+250) complete off his career with a win for bettors?
Due to injury UFC 222 is overlooking featherweight champ Max Holloway and that’s a damn pity. However, in the co-main event, perennial title contender Frankie Edgar will lock horns with towering Brian Ortega to decide who truly deserves the next shot Holloway’s gold.
Over on the women side of the branch, UFC Women’s Featherweight Champion Cris Cyborg returns to action to face UFC newcomer Yana Kunitskaya. Why is the most important event, many are asking? I guess the powers that be felt fans could be sold on the joys of seeing a lion maul a lamb.
On paper, this looks like a card however these are the ones that sneak up on you, and if you enjoy gambling on mixed martial arts, then this card is stacked with potential profit.
We played it safe and went 1-1 but we still came ahead and that’s what we are looking to do this week using all our best bets for UFC 222.

The pay-per-view can cost us around $60, so we’ll need a way to make that cash back. Below are three straight bets that are worth carrying and we could’ve easily taken more. Although the chances are juicy on Brian Ortega (+160) and Cat Zingano (+132), we proceed in another direction.
BRYAN CARAWAY (+140) vs. CODY STAMANN (-160)
This is really a moneyline on BetOnline.ag you quickly want to jump because there’s no way Bryan Caraway (21-7) ought to be an underdog in this fight.
“Kid Lightning” has been on the sidelines the past couple of years because of trauma but let’s not neglect the man total skill set and previous Octagon success. Do not get me wrong, Cody Stamann (16-1) is no slouch either, he recently upset a top prospect in Tom Duquesnoy at UFC 216, however Caraway will be his toughest competition to date.
Not only can Caraway push the pace and keep up with Stamann from the grappling department, he also has a 68??? achieve benefit in the striking that will allow him to work his range like he did against Eddie Wineland.
The layoff does not concern me. Caraway is only better regardless of where this bout goes and he fights at this a grueling pace that Stamann is going to be ceased.
