Here we have what will likely be the 48th ever SteadyPicks Power Play. As always, we are going to place these bets strategically, and monitor the market throughout the week. That being said, BetMGM currently has a significantly better price available than the rest of the market. We encourage everyone who plans to bet on Sean O'Malley to grab an early position at this (-250) number. The price on Sean O'Malley at FanDuel is (-290), so be sure to line shop for the best number in your market.

In terms of the bet, here is what you need to know. Pedro Munhoz is going to be Sean O'Malley's toughest test yet in the octagon. Munhoz is a highly experienced fighter who has fought many of the top dogs in the division. From Dominic Cruz, Jose Aldo, Frankie Edgar, Aljamain Sterling, Cody Garbrandt, Rob Font, and the list goes on. We stress this so everyone knows this is no cake fight, Pedro Munhoz is very good and we expect a battle. You should also know that Pedro Munhoz has NEVER been finished, hence why we are taking an early position on the moneyline. His last 5 fights have been decided by decision. That is not to say we won't have a bet on an O'Malley finish by Saturday, but getting a good price on a moneyline ticket early in the week is valuable to have in the back pocket.

That's what you need to know about Pedro Munhoz, but here's what you need to know about Suga Sean O'Malley. He's coming off of 3 consecutive knockouts. Two of those were in the 3rd round, and he has 4 knockdowns in those 3 fights. O'Malley has 3 wins by decision in his pro career, all 3 of which were unanimous decisions. We mention this because despite Sean being known as a knockout artist (73% of his wins have come via KO), he also has a nice path to victory through the scorecards. Very few fighters can match O'Malley's striking volume, and his defensive takedown metrics are very good. In terms of the physical matchup, O'Malley will bring in a 5-6 inch height advantage, and an 7-8 inch reach advantage. All this being said, we are rocking with our guy Suga Sean O'Malley this weekend. He's a special talent, and our bet is on him to win this fight and move into the top 10 of the bantamweight division.
