Today’s UFC Fight Night is taking place in Perth, Western Australia, and 11 Australians are featured throughout the card. The fourth Australian competing is Jamie Mullarkey, who is fighting Rolando Bedoya on the Prelims. Carlos Ulberg is facing Dominick Reyes in the Main Event of this card.
Here is my best bet for Jamie Mullarkey vs. Rolando Bedoya at UFC Perth.
Exact Method of Victory: Decision (-160)
This fight is extremely close, and the odds reflect that sentiment, with Mullarkey being a slight favorite at -118 as Bedoya is a -102 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook. Mullarkey has lost two straight fights and three of his last four contests, while Bedoya is 0-3 in the UFC.
Since Bedoya’s last three fights have gone to the judges’ scorecards, while Mullarkey’s previous three victories have come via decision. Given that this is the case, it is wise to let this fight go to a decision at -160. Both fighters have a 74″ reach, while Mullarkey is a little taller (6’0″ vs. 5’11”).
Bedoya is the better striker in this fight as he lands almost three more significant strikes per minute. Until Bedoya and Mullarkey show a more aggressive side to themselves, it will be hard to back them to win a bout by finish.
