Prediction, pick for Jeisla Chaves vs. Sofia Montenegro on DWCS Season 9, Week 7

This week’s episode of Dana White’s Contender Series has one women’s fight on the card. Jeisla Chaves is taking on Sofia Montenegro in a three-round Women’s Flyweight bout. Both fighters have six career wins; Chaves is undefeated, while Montenegro has one loss.

I detail my best bet for Jeisla Chaves vs. Sofia Montenegro right here.

Exact Method of Victory: Decision (-115)

Chaves’ last win came in April, while Montenegro’s previous win was in June. Montenegro trains at Alfa Team, an MMA gym in Argentina, which is the home of UFC fighter Esteban Ribovis. Montenegro is taller by two inches (5’6″ vs. 5’4″), but Chaves has a slightly larger standing reach (68″ vs. 67″).

Montenegro’s last two wins have come by decision, while two of Chaves’ previous five contests went to the judges’ scorecards. Given the close matchup on paper, taking the fight to end via a decision at -115 is a good value play.

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Montenegro is the favorite at -218 with Chaves being the +180 underdog. Montenegro is +165 to win by decision and +250 to win by knockout. The over/under for this contest is 2.5 rounds, with the over set at -135.
