There’s nothing greater than identifying a mismatch in which the oddsmakers have made an error and you reap the benefits of an underdog win. But that’s a lot easier to state than it’s to do and at times it burns you the other way when those apparent cut-and-dry favorites price you money when the underdog pulls off that angry.
One of the most shocking upsets of 2018 had arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter Demetrious Johnson losing by unanimous choice to Henry Cejudo (+350) at UFC 227. This does not mean you should be swinging for the fences on each card with a great deal of underdog stakes, but just know that there could be money to be made on a well-placed bet.
2018 was a Bounce-Back Year for Underdogs
Underdog victories were on the decline lately, as in 2015 dogs had a winning percentage of 38.5, but in 2017 that percentage fell to 32. But, there was a bit of a comeback in 2018 as underdogs completed at a 36 percentage that is winning and that trend has continued into 2019.
Through 19 events this season, underdogs are hitting at a speed of 36.8 percent. Most recently, UFC Fight Night Greenville: Moicano vs the Korean Zombie saw dogs win five of the 11 fights, making bettors $205.91 based on a $100 wager on every fight. The biggest upset of the day was on the undercard using Molly McCann (+215) beating Ariane Lipski. Overall this season, the biggest upset is Allen Crowder (+375) over Greg Hardy.
