Check out my best bet for the second bout between Axel Sola vs. Rhys McKee at today’s UFC Fight Night.
Rhys McKee Moneyline (+114)
Sola has shown a more aggressive ability recently, winning five of his last six wins coming via KO/TKO. Even though McKee has more experience against UFC competition, he hasn’t done well against the top talent. With that being said, the UFC debutant is the favorite at -135 in this contest, with McKee being a +114 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook.
In this matchup, both fighters excel on the feet, making it likely that this fight will be a striking battle. On paper, this is a favorable matchup for McKee, who holds a four-inch reach advantage (78″ vs. 74″) while being three inches taller (6’2″ vs. 5’11”). Sola is a talented fighter, but doesn’t have the experience against the top talent like McKee has.
Five of Sola’s last six wins have come via finish. If McKee can make this a more prolonged fight and wear Sola down throughout three rounds, he will have a good chance to pull off the upset.
