The Main Event of UFC 310 is Flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja against former Rizin champion Kai Asakura. Even though a title is not on the line in the co-main event, it is a highly intriguing bout. No. 3 Shavkat Rakhmonov takes on No. 7 Ian Machado Garry in a five-round No. 1 contender fight.
Below, I detail Shavkat Rakhmonov’s prop bets for his fight against Ian Machado Garry.
Best Shavkat Rakhmonov Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Shavkat Rakhmonov over 64.5 significant strikes (-115)
Rakhmonov is undefeated in his MMA career and has won every fight by finish. He is 6-0 in the UFC Octagon and has only been to the third round once against Geoff Neal at UFC 285. This is Rakhmonov’s first five-round fight in the UFC. Garry is Rakhmonov’s most formidable opponent in his career up until this point. Garry is known for his incredible striking ability but has also improved his ground game.
Rakhmonov hasn’t spent much time in the cage since he is usually a quick finisher. He has only finished with at least 20 significant strikes in three of his six UFC bouts. But in a little under 10 minutes in his last fight against Stephen Thompson, he recorded 28 significant strikes. When he entered the third round against Neal, Rakhmonov had 113 significant strikes, his most in the UFC.
Shavkat Rakhmonov under 1.5 takedowns (+120)
Since he hasn’t been in long fights, Rakhmonov has only had two or more takedowns once in the UFC. He believes in quality over quantity, and when he gets his opponent to the ground, the fight is over quickly.
Garry’s takedown defense has been excellent recently, and it would be surprising if Rakhmonov was easily able to take him down. Rakhmonov has a 29 percent takedown accuracy, while Garry has an impressive 69 percent takedown defense. Rakhmonov is a big -395 favorite, as Garry is +310 on DraftKings Sportsbook. Since both fighters are undefeated and have much to lose, It wouldn’t be surprising if they got off to a slow start.
