Check out my best bet for Dustin Jacoby vs. Julius Walker at tonight’s UFC Fight Night.

Dustin Jacoby To Win By KO/TKO/DQ (+150)

Although he isn’t ranked inside the UFC’s top 15 at 205 pounds, Dustin Jacoby is one of the best knockout artists at Light Heavyweight. He is 21-9-1 overall with 14 wins by knockout, and his last four wins have all come by KO/TKO. Walker, 26, is 7-1 with six finishes and is 1-1 in the UFC. Before Walker entered the UFC, he started his career 6-0, with all coming by knockout or submission.

In this fight, Jacoby is the favorite at -166 with Walker being a +140 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 2.5 rounds for this contest, with the under being -125. Because of his knockout prowess, taking Jacoby to win by KO/TKO/DQ at +150 is my favorite play. When Jacoby is aggressive and unloads a high volume of punches, his opponents usually can’t handle it.
