For my MMA Prop Play of the Week: UFC Abu Dhabi, I’ve got a big money submission prop bet. Let’s get it on, c’mon!

MMA Prop Pick of the Week: UFC Abu Dhabi
UFC Fight Night: Whittaker vs de Ridder (aka UFC Abu Dhabi)
Start Time: Saturday – Noon EST – (ABC/ESPN/ESPN+)
Bryce Mitchell is a pretty despicable dude (sometimes these things happen in MMA), but he can grapple. And I’m counting on his grappling coming through on Saturday for my prop bet.
Michell got brutally knocked out in his last fight, and he’s dropping down a weight class to bantamweight for this fight against Said Nurmagomedov, two things that would normally cause me to fade a fighter. But Mitchell’s grappling is going to be too much for Nurmagomedov, and he’s aggressive looking for submissions, so I’m willing to roll the dice for a big payout.
UFC Abu Dhabi Prop Pick: Bryce Mitchell via submission (+424)
