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 head overseas for RIZIN in Korea from Seoul, South Korea for our regional MMA pick.

MMA Regional Pick of the Week: RIZIN in Korea
RIZIN Bantamweight Fight: Soo Chul Kim vs Shoko Sato
Card Start Time: Saturday (5/31), 1:00am EST (Internet PPV)
If you’re ready to get up at an ungodly hour, RIZIN always delivers. They put together another nice card this weekend in their first foray into Korea. Not only does the card have a load of solid fights, but there are some great spots for bettors in there as well.
One of my favorites is the moneyline on Soo Chul Kim. Kim has faced a ridiculous level of competition in his career. He’s faced Bellator and ONE FC champions as well as a slew of UFC veterans. In all of those fights, he was game thanks to his speed on the feet and his ability to finish from anywhere.
That diversity of attack should play up against Shoko Sato. Sato tends to do well from range, but struggles when he’s crowded. That goes for on the feet or the mats.
