Gilbert Urbina vs. Orion Cosce
Gilbert Urbina Moneyline (-108)
There are a few signals that pushed our wager toward GIlbert Urbina. First, he strikes at a much higher volume than his opponent Orion Cosce. Urbina averages 6.2 significant strikes landed per minute compared to 2.9 for Cosce. In the grappling department, Urbina averages 4 takedowns per 15 minutes. Orion Sosce averages 2 takedowns per 15 minutes. Keep in mind that both of these fighters have a limited sample size of fights, so take those metrics with a slight grain of salt. The other factor to consider here is the strong line movement. Gilbert Urbina unanimously opened as an underdog. The plus money on him was quickly scooped up and wiped off the board. We missed out on getting a better price, but it's encouraging to see the market react strongly to the side we prefer. At (-108) we still like the value. Urbina has fought the tougher competition. His only losses were to Sean Brady and Contender Series winner Bryan Battle (who had a big KO last weekend). Urbina took that Bryan Battle fight on short notice. Orion Cosce is 1-1 in the UFC. He was knocked out by Phillip Rowe, and won a decision against Blood Diamond (Mike Mathetha) who has yet to record a win in the UFC. Our wager is on Gilbert Urbina to win.
