Kwon Wonil is taking on Juan Diaz in a three-round Bantamweight contest on Week 10 of Season 9 of Dana White’s Contender Series. Wonil enters this bout with a 14-5 record with 13 finishes, as Diaz is 14-1-1 in his MMA career. Diaz has won seven straight fights since his first loss in 2021; meanwhile, Wonil suffered a knockout loss in his previous contest in January.

Here is my best bet for Kwon Wonil vs. Juan Diaz on tonight’s episode of Dana White’s Contender Series.

Kwon Won Il To Win By KO/TKO/DQ (+100)

Although Wonil is coming off a loss, it was in a title fight against Fabricio Andrade, the ONE Championship Bantamweight title holder. Wonil does have four more losses than Diaz in his career, but he has competed in ONE Championship, one of the most prominent MMA organizations in the world, for the last six years.

In this contest, Diaz is a +164 underdog while Wonil is the favorite at -198 on DraftKings Sportsbook. This fight is +165 to go the distance and -220 to end during the three rounds of competition. The total of rounds is set at 2.5, with the under being -175.

Wonil has the edge in experience, height (5’10” vs. 5’8″), and reach advantage (71″ vs. 69″). Even though Wonil has lost five fights in his career, he has never suffered back-to-back defeats. Wonil has been inconsistent throughout his career, but he has the perfect style for Dana White’s Contender Series with his all-action knockout power. Since Won’s previous nine victories have come by knockout, it is a good play to get him to win this fight via KO/TKO/DQ at +100.
