Prop Bets: Gabriel Bonfim VS Stephen Thompson 2025-07-12
Prediction: Gabriel Bonfim vs. Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson
Date: July 13, 2025 | Time: 3:15 AM UTC
The Verdict:
Gabriel Bonfim (-400) is the statistical and skill-based favorite to continue his UFC dominance over the aging "Wonderboy" Stephen Thompson (4.75). Let’s break it down with the precision of a Brazilian jiu-jitsu chokehold:
- The Odds Say It All:
- Bonfim’s implied probability of victory? A staggering 83.3% (decimal odds: 1.2). That’s like betting against a grandfather clock ticking slower than Thompson’s reflexes at 42.
- Thompson’s longshot odds (4.75 = 20.8% implied) reflect his recent 4-1 slide and susceptibility to takedowns. His best bet? A slow dance with Bonfim’s legs to avoid the grappling clinic.
- Key Stats to Savor:
- Bonfim has 4 submission wins in 5 UFC fights, including a slick finish over Khaos Williams. His black belt BJJ will test Thompson’s 12-4 TD defense (UFC rank: 23rd).
- Thompson’s footwork and counters are still sharp, but can he outrun Bonfim’s 63% takedown accuracy? Doubtful.
- Props & Spreads:
- Spread: Bonfim -3.5 (odds: -143). Even the line respects his dominance.
- Totals: Under 2.5 rounds (-150). The market thinks this could end before Thompson’s post-fight interview begins.
Final Jeer:
Bonfim isn’t just a favorite—he’s a finish waiting for a stage. Thompson’s "Wonderboy" moniker might need a reality check. Pick: Bonfim by submission in Round 1, or at worst, Round 2. And if you’re feeling spicy, take the Under 2.5 rounds—this won’t be a "let’s go to war" classic.
Note: If Thompson wins, the universe rewrites the laws of physics. Bet accordingly. 🥊
