UFC Fight Night: Ottman Azaitar-Francisco Prado Prediction and Odds
Ottman Azaitar-Francisco Prado Odds
Ottman Azaitar: +110 | Francisco Prado: -135
Prado lost his debut to Jamie Mullarkey via decision in February, while Azaitar got knocked out by Matt Frevola in November.
Prado has an 11-1 professional record despite being just 21 years old. He began his mixed martial arts career with karate but has expanded into multiple disciplines. He has a 100% finish rate, with five knockouts and six submissions. However, his UFC debut did not go according to plan. Mullarkey outstruck him 59-28 and completed three of four takedown attempts on Prado, resulting in nearly five minutes of control time.
At age 33, Azaitar has a 13-1 professional record, and 10 of his 13 wins came via knockout. He has never scored a takedown in the UFC, but he has also never been taken down. He lands 6.97 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 2.63. Azaitar does not have any wins over current UFC fighters, making his strength of schedule suspect. With that said, he still has a higher level of experience than Prado.
Prado has more weapons at his disposal in this fight. Level of competition aside, Prado should be able to outpoint Azaitar. At just -135, the chalk should hit here.
