Many of the bouts on this card feature fighters who are still relatively new to the pro game, so this is your chance to get a look at some up-and-coming MMA stars. Let’s break down all 6 fights on the main card for LFA 124: Formiga Vs Bunes along with their LFA Betting Odds.

MMA Betting Preview for LFA 124: Formiga Vs Bunes

Kasey Tanner (-660) Vs Tristan Lindi (+460)

We get the evening started with a Bantamweight bout that seems designed to keep one of these fighters moving in an upward trend. That would be Tanner, who comes into this fight sporting a perfect 5-0 record. He is heavily favored over Lindi, who is just 2-3 in his pro career and coming off back-to-back losses. Tanner should have this fight won rather quickly.

Austin Wourms (+295) Vs Jacobi Jones (-370)

Next up is a Lightweight bout and another fighter looking to maintain an unblemished record. Wourms will be the man trying to bring that run to an end. He comes in with a 4-3 record, but he is also the winner of 2 in a row. It is still early in his pro career, but Jones has looked good on his way to a perfect 3-0 start. I like Jones to keep his perfect record intact.

Waldo Cortes-Acosta (-570) Vs Derrick Weaver (+395)

The big boys step into the octagon next for a Heavyweight bout, with yet another unbeaten record on the lines. That belongs to Cortes-Acosta, who is a perfect 4-0 in the very early stages of his pro career. Weaver is just 7-7, but he has put it together of late, winning 4 of his last 5 fights. A good run, but I think it end with Cortes-Acosta getting the KO.

Ahmad Suhail Hassanzada (+240) Vs James Wilson (-300)

The common theme of the night continues, with yet another fighter coming into this Lightweight bout with an unbeaten record. That would be Wilson, who is off to a 4-0 start, with 3 wins coming in the opening round. Hassanzada is no slouch, though, as he is a very respectable 7-1 right now. I think Wilson takes this one by decision.

Clayton Carpenter (-210) Vs Windson Ramos (+170)

The co-main event of the night is a Flyweight bout that has yet another unbeaten fighter stepping into the octagon. Carpenter is 5-0 and has only had to go the distance in 1 of those 5 fights. After losing his first pro fight, Ramos has come to life, winning each of his last 4. A good matchup, but I like Carpenter to get the KO win.

Jussier Formiga (-200) Vs Felipe Bunes (+160)

The main event of the night is a Flyweight bout between a pair of fighters in dire need of a win. Formiga is 23-8 overall, but he is heading in the wrong direction after taking 3 straight losses. Bunes is coming off a win, but that victory snapped a 3-fight losing streak, with his record now at 11-5. Neither fighter is in great form, but I’m taking Formiga to win by decision.

I have read enough, I need to place my bet now. What to do?
