Prop Bets to Bet on While Eating Popcorn:
1. Over 2.5 Rounds (-160): Covers.com thinks Chikadze’s fight IQ will drag this out.
2. Vallejos to Win by Decision (-135): MMAmania.com’s pick, citing Chikadze’s lone finish loss (to Ilia Topuria in 2022).
3. Chikadze to Win by Decision (+470): A long shot, but if he lands that left hook, maybe he’ll shock the bracket.

Why This Fight is a Comedy of Errors (and Strategy):
Vallejos’ pocket-boxing style vs. Chikadze’s kick-heavy distance control? Sounds like a chess match where one player brings a rook and the other shows up with a rubber chicken. Chikadze’s 76-inch reach could give him an edge, but Vallejos’ youth (13 years younger) and 6.28 strikes per minute might drown him in a storm of fists.

The Verdict:
While MMAmania.com and FanDuel are all-in on Vallejos (-310) for a decision win, Covers.com thinks Chikadze (+235) will outlast and outthink him. But let’s be real: This fight is a coin flip between “Vallejos grinds out a decision” and “Chikadze gets caught in the pocket and gets knocked out.” Either way, the Over 2.5 rounds (-160) is a safe bet because neither fighter will quit.

Final Joke:
This fight is like the UFC’s version of The Golden Bachelorette—a mix of drama, age gaps, and someone trying to prove they still belong. Let’s hope Chikadze doesn’t become the first fighter to lose to a man named Kevin in a co-main event.

Fight time: 12:15 AM ET. May the circle of life (and betting lines) be ever in your favor. 🥊
