UFC Vegas 71 Sedriques Dumas vs. Josh Fremd Odds & Picks (2023)
When it comes to the quality of free cards, it’s hard to find much to complain about with this one, which, at least in part, ought to make up for how poor the last few have been. Let’s get right into the prop bet spots I’m on as we try to make it five Saturdays in a row with a winning record and touch on a few of my top UFC predictions.

Vitor Petrino (-120) vs. Anton Turkalj (+150)
Both of these light heavyweights came up through the ranks of the DWCS, with Petrino making his debut in the most recent season and defeating Rodolpho Bellato via knockout.
The knockout was the sixth of the fighter’s seven professional fights (all of which were wins), and all six occurred within the opening two rounds (four in the first). Despite the fact that he has not been taken down very much, he comes in with a takedown defense of 66%; yet, I do not believe that Turkalj will take the fight to the ground.
Turkalj was brought to the attention of the UFC in July via DWCS as well. He won his bout via decision over an opponent with a record of 14-4, but he was not offered a contract. After that, he took a bout against Jailton Almeida at UFC 279 in September, despite having relatively little time to prepare for it. He was defeated by submission in the first round.
I think this is a great price for a fight that Petrino will most likely win inside the distance.
Bet: Vitor Petrino – Inside the Distance (+145 via DraftKings)
