UFC Vegas 77 Props

Holly Holm vs. Mayra Bueno Silva Prop Pick

This is going to be Mayra Bueno Silva’s first 5-round bout since 2017. Meanwhile, Holly Holm has fought two 25-minute fights in her last three trips to the Octagon. Both fighters have great cardio, and both are very tough.

The evidence of this is that Bueno Silva has never been finished, while Holm has two losses inside the distance, both of which happened by much better fighters than her next opponent – Amanda Nunes (TKO) and Miesha Tate (technical submission).

For all these reasons we think the UFC Vegas 77 headliner is going to be a marathon fight, probably lasting until the final bell. Still, we do think a better prop bet is over 4.5 rounds. This way, you don’t have to worry about one of them finishing the other one late in the fight.

Albert Duraev vs. Jun Yong Park Prop Pick

Both fighters are incredibly tough, but neither has a one-punch-KO power nor either of them can be called a submission expert. That said, we just can’t see a finish happening in the UFC Vegas 77 co-main event.

Instead, the two will probably exchange a decent number of strikes, as well as hold each other in a clinch. And it’s gonna go like that until the final bell.   

Walt Harris vs. Josh Parisian Prop Pick

Walt Harris hasn’t fought in two years, and before that he was 0-3 since the start of the decade, losing each of those by a TKO. When it comes to his wins, all 13 of them happened by KO/TKO. Josh Parisian also has a lot of knockout wins (11 of the 15 career wins), but unlike Harris, he’s more about volume than power.

Either way, we think there’s no way this fight is going to last for the full three rounds. Instead, one of them will knock the other one out.

Norma Dumont vs. Chelsea Chandler

Norma Dumont is a technical striker with decent grappling skills, while her strongest weapon is a high fighting IQ. This explains why seven of her nine career wins happened by a decision.

Chelsea Chandler knows this, which is why she will probably go for a finish on Saturday. She’s got plenty of power in her hands, which is why our UFC prop pick for this bout is Chandler by KO/TKO.

Ottman Azaitar vs. Francisco Prado Prop Pick

Ottman Azaitar is coming off a KO loss to Matt Frevola in the first round of the fight in November 2022. The loss ended Azaitar’s brilliant run of 13 straight wins. He wants to bounce back ASAP and winning the UFC Vegas 77 fight inside by a quick KO would get him back in the spotlight.

Terrance McKinney vs. Nazim Sadykhov Prop Pick

Terrance McKinney has fought 18 professional MMA fights in his career, and none of those went the distance. In fact, 15 of his fights ended before round 2.

He’s fighting Nazim Sadykhov, an Azerbaijani fighter who’s 8-1 overall with only one of his fights going the distance. Sadykhov has a 75% knockout-to-win ratio, so we wouldn’t be surprised if he KO-ed McKinney on Saturday. At the same time, we also wouldn’t be shocked if just the opposite happened. Either way, we just can’t see the McKinney vs. Sadykhov fight last for the full 15 minutes.
