UFC on ESPN: Munhoz v Edgar Betting Tips and Predictions 22/08/2020
- Written by David Bet
UFC betting continues from the APEX this weekend in Las Vegas and sees Pedro Munhoz take on Frankie Edgar in the main event.
It’s a bout that has been some time coming, and was initially scheduled for UFC 251. Two cancellations and one bout of coronavirus for Munhoz later, it tops the bill at UFC on ESPN on August 22.
Below you’ll find our Munhoz vs Edgar betting preview ahead of the fight, including the best odds and full details of the undercard...
£1 / €10
There are four fights on the Main Card, and 11 across the entire evening, all of which are being broadcast live on BT Sport.
Pedro Munhoz is being backed as the favourite with the bookies, with Paddy Power pricing him at 4/11 to get the win.
The 33-year-old lost by a unanimous decision last time out but is a powerful fighter that has stopped his opponents twice in his last three fights in the first round.
A first round knockout for Munhoz can be backed at 9/2 and is the shortest odds you’ll find in the Method & Round market, with Paddy Power expecting a similar fight.
Edgar can be backed at 2/1 to win the fight with Betfred, but he’s lost three of his last four bouts and is generally unfancied for this one by the media.
That said, he’ll be keen to bounce back following defeat last time out and the knockout at 6/4 with VBet would be where we’d look to in this one.
Half of his wins have come via submission though, which could be worth considering at 11/2, but the power he’ll show early should be enough to end the fight in the opening rounds.
Our punt, as noted above would be a first round knockout, which is priced at 10/3, while you can back a round two knockout at 8/1, if you believe Edgar will hold on to see out a round.
If you’re looking for an upset, Edgar by decision is likely your best bet there at 7/2 with Paddy Power, but it really is difficult to see past Munhoz in this one.
