Check out the betting guide for UFC Vegas 85 ahead of Saturday’s ESPN Plus event. Which features Roman Dolidze vs. Nassourdine Imavov in the middleweight main event. The Betting Guide provides you with the best bets for UFC Vegas 85.

UFC 297 recap, The Betting Guide went 1-1 in straight bets, only missing on Mike Malott. However, according to Bet MMA, it was easily the worst betting performance of my career. Across the MMA community, it seems like very few people were profitable. We’ll bounce back, onto the next event.

Ranked No. 7 Dolidze faces off in a five-round main event against No. 11 Imavov on February 3rd at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

According to the UFC Vegas 85 odd board, Nassourdine Imavov is currently the favorite at -165 (bet $165 to win $100). On the flip side, Roman Dolidze is the underdog at +140 (bet $100 to win $140). As a result, implying an 62% win probability for Imavov.

Roman Dolidze (+140) vs. Nassourdine Imavov (-165)

Statistically, Dolidze and Nassourdine Imavovs are even. The largest discrepancy is Imavov’s striking output. As a result, he lands 1.5 more times than Dolidze.

Stylistically, Imavov is the better striker as he is primarily a boxer, but Dolidze can hold his own. On top of that, Dolidze will have a significant advantage on the ground.

In March of 2023, Marvin Vettori and Roman Dolidze fought on UFC 286. As a man who bet on Vettori that night, I can confidently say he lost. The Judges fleeced Dolidze. In conclusion, take the plus money on Dolidze.

Bet: Roman Dolidze

Renato Moicano (-140) vs. Drew Dober (+120)

Renato Moicano is the first real test for Drew Dober, since getting knocked out by Matt Frevola on UFC 288. Ricky Glenn never posed any threat. 

If it has not already, Moicano’s line will jump. As of now while I’m writing this betting guide, (-140) is a steal. 

Simply put, Moicano is the better overall mixed martial artist. Dober is going to rush forward and look for the one shot knockout. Where Moicano can stand and bang or take him to the ground. 

I had a dream, Renato Moicano round two victory (+600). 

Bet: Renato Moicano
