The first fight of tonight’s episode of Dana White’s Contender Series is a Flyweight bout between Rashid Vagabov and Paulo da Silva. Vagabov holds a 13-2 record while da Silva is 11-1 in his MMA career. The Main Event of this week’s card is Vitor Costa vs. Damian Pinas in a 185-pound fight.

Check out my best bet for Rashid Vagabov vs Paulo da Silva on tonight’s episode of DWCS.

Rashid Vagabov to Win by KO/TKO/DQ or Submission (-150)

Vagabov is from Russia and trains at the Nurmagomedov Martial Arts School in Dagestan. Learning from former UFC Champions Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev gives Vagabov the necessary tools to find success not only on DWCS but in the UFC.

Vagabov is the largest favorite on this card as he is -650 while da Silva is a +470 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook. The over in this fight is 1.5 rounds, which is -175. However, since Vagabov has won four straight fights by finish, getting him to win by KO/TKO/DQ or submission at -150 is the better play. Vagabov has won seven of his last nine fights via knockout or submission and hasn’t suffered a defeat since August 2021.
