Jacoby is 22-9-1 with 16 finishes in his MMA career and has been in the UFC since 2020. He is currently in the middle of his longest winning streak since 2022, as he hasn’t lost a fight since June 2024. Saidov last beat Luis Henrique da Silva at UAE Warriors 71 in May. Five of Said’s previous six victories have come by knockout.
In this fight, Jacoby is taller (6’3″ vs. 6’2″) with a larger standing reach (76″ vs. 73″) than Saidov. Jacoby is the favorite in this contest at -185 with Saidov being the underdog at +154 on DraftKings Sportsbook. This fight is also +140 to go the distance and -185 to end before the allotted 15 minutes.
Both fighters in this contest combine to produce 21 career knockouts. Jacoby’s last five wins have come by knockout, and he last won a decision in March 2022. Over the last three years, Saidov has won five of his six fights by knockout. With two dangerous strikers with a ton of power, I’m taking this fight to end by knockout, which is -140.
