UFC 259 Makhachev vs. Dober: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Makhachev 18-1 Dober 23-9
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
Makhachev (-450) has picked up unanimous-decision wins in his previous two outings, including a win over Davi Ramos at UFC 242 Sept. 7, 2019. He was to return in Nov. 2020 but was forced to pull out of the main event on that fight night card due to a staph infection. Between the rust of a long layoff, and the fact he has gone the distance in four of his past six events, he is a risky play.
DOBER (+333) has three straight KO/TKO wins, although none have been against the quality of opponent like Makhachev. Still, playing DOBER BY KO/TKO OR DQ (+500) is too tempting to pass at. He is super aggressive, and will try to fire out of the chute and end Makhachev’s night early while the favorite tries to get his sea legs. If Dober doesn’t get the early finish, this bet gets less attractive as the clock continues to tick. Still, it’s worth a roll of the dice.
Makhachev is a heavy favorite that will cost you four-and-a-half times your potential return, which just isn’t a good bet over the long haul. Plus, he is fighting an aggressive fighter in Dober, who is the much better value bet on the 2-way line.

However, the southpaw Dober has had four consecutive stoppages, including three straight KO/TKO wins since his submission loss to Beneil Dariush March 9, 2019. UNDER 2.5 ROUNDS (+130) is worth playing, or YES (-140) ON ‘WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE?’ gives you 90 more seconds of wiggle room.
