Prop Bets: Michelangelo Lupoli VS Jawany Scott 2025-11-15
Prediction: Islam Makhachev vs. Jack Della Maddalena – UFC Welterweight Title Showdown
“When you’re the best grappler in the UFC, even your shadow makes opponents nervous.”
The Odds:
- Islam Makhachev (-305, implied probability: 75.3%)
- Jack Della Maddalena (+230, implied probability: 30.3%)
Why Makhachev is the Russian Roulette Pick:
The “Grappler from Dagestan” isn’t just a title—Makhachev’s 100% finish rate (7 submissions, 3 TKOs) makes him MMA’s version of a one-man wrecking crew. Della Maddalena’s “just get up” strategy (thanks, Craig Jones training camp) might work in a bar fight, but against a man who turns grappling into an art form, it’s like bringing a spoon to a sword fight.
The Underdog’s Hope?
Maddalena’s +230 odds are basically a bet that Makhachev will nap mid-fight. If you’re feeling lucky, stick with the Russian’s 75% implied chance to secure another title—preferably via armbar, because why settle for a boring TKO?
Prop Bets to Note (Elsewhere):
- Zhang Weili (+114) to shock Valentina Shevchenko? Sure, if “shock” means “outstrike her into oblivion.”
- Sean Brady by submission (+450)? Only if his opponent forgets how to breathe.
Final Verdict:
Makhachev’s victory is as inevitable as taxes in April. Bet on the grappling wizardry, and maybe take a nap while you’re at it. Della Maddalena’s best move? Pray for a time machine to escape round two.
“The only thing heavier than Makhachev’s title shot is the cloud of despair over Maddalena’s corner.”
