While the UFC continues to be the king when it comes to MMA and gambling, there is more MMA than ever to bet on now. Promotions all over the world as well as domestic ones are showing up in sportsbooks. The advantage here is that the data is usually quite a bit less sharp than when you’re making MMA predictions for the UFC. So we’ve decided to dig into some each week to get you started on your regional MMA journey. This week, we stay domestic for ONE Friday Fights 95 from Bangkok, Thailand for our regional MMA pick.

MMA Regional Pick of the Week: ONE Friday Fights 95
ONE Flyweight Fight: Robson de Oliveira vs Kohei Wakabayashi
Card Start Time: Friday (1/31), 7:30am EST (YouTube)
There’s lots of reasons why Robson de Oliveira walks into this bout on Friday morning as the odds-on favorite. Who doesn’t like to see flashy submission finishes from a Brazilian jiu jitsu specialist? It’s especially true when he repeatedly scores them off his back.
However, I think he’s run into a fight where condeding the takedown and working off his back might be a bad idea.
Kohei Wakabayashi is an absolute grinder. He works so hard in top position and his low head placement makes it really hard to submit him. I think the wrestling he brings should keep him in good positions and riding his way to a safe decision – and subsequent dog cash here.
