UFC San Antonio odds: Cory Sandhagen favored over Marlon Vera

Check out the betting odds for UFC San Antonio, which have Cory Sandhagen favored over Marlon Vera in the main event.

It’s fight day for UFC San Antonio, which is happening from the AT&T Center in The Lone Star State. Texas is in for a super-spicy main event when the promotion’s #3 rated 135-pounder, Marlon Vera, gets busy with the #5 rated, Cory Sandhagen. Now let’s go take a gander at the betting lines for this good ol’ fashioned passionate donnybrook.

Vera is the fighter that’s on a hot streak, but it’s Sandhagen who is favored by the bookies. Cory can be scooped up with a reasonably favored tick of -155, and a $100 gamble at that line stands to make a profit of $64.52. As for Chito, he is rocking a small underdog position of +135. Dropping a hundo on Vera at those odds could possibly see a complete payout of $235 if successful.

I can understand why Cory is favored here. He has the volume on his side, and is going up against someone in Marlon who is comfortable with a quality over quantity approach to his standup. This could very well boil down to whether or not Sandhagen can avoid 25-minutes of home run swings. If he can do that, then he’ll likely win on volume. Five-rounds is an eternity, though.

The oddsmakers are expecting the UFC San Antonio main event to reach the scorecards. The prop bet ‘Fight goes to decision’ holds a favored line of -135, with a +105 comeback on the ‘Fight doesn’t go to decision’ option.

The exotic bet ‘Sandhagen wins by decision’ is barely holding on to a plus odds of +105. Going back the other way, the ‘Vera wins by decision’ line can be acquired at a huge underdog value of +600.

The bet-setters are forecasting a Sandhagen decision victory tonight, but they are giving Vera better odds at sniffing out a finish. There’s the bet ‘Vera wins inside distance’ trending at +225, and then you’ve got ‘Sandhagen wins inside distance’ living a little higher at +375.
