The UFC is wasting no time getting their pay-per-view of the month out to their fans, as this weekend already brings us UFC 313 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Our co-main event fell apart, but we’ve got a replacement for it, and the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship is still on the line in the main event. For my MMA Prop Play of the Week: UFC 313, I’ve got a knockout play from Saturday’s early prelims!

MMA Prop Pick of the Week: UFC 313
UFC 313: Pereira vs Ankalaev
Start Time: 6:30 PM EST (ESPN+)
My prop play for this week comes from the ‘main event’ of Saturday’s early prelims, pitting TUF winner Mairon Santos vs Francis Marshall in a featherweight fight. While Santos is a big -300 favorite on the moneyline, you can get yourself a better line by taking his T/KO prop play.
Santos is an explosive athlete, with eight knockouts among his 14 professional MMA wins (including a TKO win in his last fight, the TUF finale). He’s going to be a way better striker than Marshall, who is more of a grappler. Marshall also gets hit too often to last against a guy with this level of power. This makes Santos worth a sprinkle on the T/KO prop for three times our money.
