UFC Fight Night Predictions: Ode’ Osbourne-Assu Almabaev Pick
Best UFC Fight Night Bets: Ode’ Osbourne vs. Assu Almabaev Odds
Ode’ Osbourne: +130 | Assu Almabaev: -150
Osbourne has a wrestling background. He averages 1.61 takedowns per bout and 27% accuracy. Osbourne also defends them at 72%. He lands 4.31 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 4.63. His 46% striking defense leaves plenty to be desired, and he has already been knocked out twice. While well rounded, Osbourne can be defeated by specialists on the feet and on the ground. He has a professional 12-5 record with five knockouts and four submission wins.
Almabaev makes his UFC debut at 29 years of age with a 17-2 professional record. He has three knockouts and eight submission wins, and he has been finished just one time. That came against current UFC fighter Tagir Ulanbekov back in 2017. Almabaev appears to have a fairly well-rounded game and trains with Shavkat Rakhmonov. He fought some decent competition on the regional scene as well, including former UFC fighter Zach Makovsky in his second-most recent bout.
Osborne does not have the best level of competition within the UFC. Most of his wins in the promotion came against the back end of the roster. With Almabaev fighting legitimate opponents on the regional scene and possessing a well-rounded skill set, he is worth a look at -150.
