Check out my best bet below for Jeremiah Wells vs. Myktybek Orolbai at UFC 330.
Myktybek Orolbai to Win in Rounds 1-2 (-125)
Wells has been in the UFC since 2021 and has a 5-2 record in the promotion. He is from Pennsylvania and trains in Philadelphia, the host city of UFC 330, at Renzo Gracie Philly, home to Sean Brady, Pat Sabatini, and Andre Petroski. Orolbai is 11 years younger than Wells and enters this fight 16-2-1 with 13 finishes in his career. In the UFC, Orolbai is 5-1, with his lone loss coming by split decision to Mateusz Rebecki in October 2024.
In this contest, Orolbai is a massive favorite of -1050 with Wells being a +675 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook. Orolbai is the largest favorite on the entire UFC 330 card. Also, Orolbai is -185 to score a finish in this bout. The over/under is 1.5 rounds, with the over being -166 and the under being +130.
Both fighters in this matchup have a 74″ standing reach, with Orolbai being slightly taller (5’10” vs. 5’9″). On the feet, it is close, as Orolbai lands 0.43 more significant strikes per minute while having the edge in striking accuracy (50% vs. 48%). But on the ground, Orolbai has a big advantage, averaging 5.71 more takedowns per 15 minutes. Since Orolbai is coming off his third career decision win, he will likely come out extra aggressive in this contest. In his career, 11 of Orolbai’s 16 victories have come in the first two rounds. Also, five of his last seven wins have come in the first 10 minutes. Since that is the case, I’m taking Orolbai at -125 to win in Rounds 1-2. His last six wins by knockout or submission have been in the first two rounds.
