MMA Prop Pick of the Week: UFC Nashville

UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs Teixeira (aka UFC Nashville)

Start Time: 6:00 PM EST – (ESPN/ESPN+)

This is a heavyweight-heavy fight card, with three bouts in the UFC’s heaviest weight class scheduled for Saturday. However, for my prop bet, I’m backing a former heavyweight taking his first light heavyweight fight in the UFC. That fighter would be Junior Tafa, who has racked up a pro record of 6-3, with all six wins coming via knockout.

So if you’re backing Tafa to beat Tuca Tokkos, who has yet to win in the UFC, then you may as well get the better line and take him via T/KO. I expect Tafa’s power to travel well down to 205 pounds, and he should be the better and more powerful striker in this matchup.

UFC Nashville Prop Pick: Junior Tafa via T/KO (-120)
