Prop Bets: Andre Petroski VS Edmen Shahbazyan 2025-06-14
It's time to put on our MMA prognosticator hats and dive into the juicy matchup between Edmen Shahbazyan and Andre Petroski at UFC Fight Night.
Shahbazyan, once the wunderkind of the middleweight division, has been struggling to find his footing, oscillating between wins and losses like a teenager on a seesaw. Meanwhile, Petroski has been quietly chugging along, sporting an impressive 8-2 record in his first 10 UFC fights and riding a sturdy three-fight win streak. His grappling skills could spell trouble for Shahbazyan, whose weaknesses in this area have been well-documented.
The oddsmakers seem to think Shahbazyan still has that special something, listing him as the favorite at 1.59 (BetOnline.ag) or 1.61 (BetRivers, BetMGM). However, Petroski's grinding style and eight finishes in 13 career wins make him a formidable underdog at 2.45 (BetOnline.ag) or 2.28 (BetRivers).
One thing's for sure: this fight won't be a snooze fest. Both fighters have shown vulnerabilities, and the experts predict a thrilling, potentially explosive, contest that won't go the distance. In fact, the Over/Under market is favoring the Under at 1.5 rounds, with BetOnline.ag listing it at 2.25 and DraftKings at 2.2.
If you're looking for some enticing prop bets, DraftKings offers a spread of 3.5 points, with both fighters at 1.87. Will Petroski's grappling skills allow him to control the fight and cover? Or will Shahbazyan's raw power prove too much for the underdog?
My prediction? This one ends quickly, with Petroski's wrestling background and relentless pressure catching Shahbazyan off guard. I'm calling it a Petroski submission or TKO in Round 1, cashing in on that juicy 2.45 underdog price. Don't be surprised if the Over 1.5 rounds hits, either.
Place your bets, folks! Will Edmen Shahbazyan break out of his funk, or will Andre Petroski continue his winning ways? Only time (and a few well-placed punches) will tell.
