Oleinik vs. Daukaus: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Oleinik 59-14-1 Daukaus 10-3
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
Daukaus (-200) is a little too expensive for my liking against a veteran like Oleinik, although ultimately, I do expect he’ll earn the victory. Still, I don’t like to put up two times my potential return, so let’s get more specific and avoid the 2-way line.
Youth is on the side of Daukaus, who is just 31, or 12 years younger than Oleinik. Daukaus has registered two KO/TKO wins, both in Round 1, since making his debut with the company at UFC 252 in August 2020. Oleinik is coming off a second-round KO/TKO loss to Derrick Lewis, and he is 2-3 across his past five, all knockout setbacks.
As such, playing DAUKAUS BY KO/TKO, DQ OR SUBMISSION (-125) on the 5-way line makes a lot of sense. In addition, I like DAUKAUS IN ROUND 2 (+525), as I think Oleinik can at least hang around until the early part of Round 2.

Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 1.5 ROUNDS (-185) is worth a small-unit bet, too. Oleinik has been knocked out in the first round by Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris, while getting finished by Lewis just 21 seconds into Round 2 across his past five fights. I don’t think Daukaus gets the finish in Round 1, as mentioned above, but it’s not going any longer than the early part of 2.

In a light heavyweight bout on Saturday’s main card, Nikita Krylov and Magomed Ankalaev meet at UFC on ESPN+ 50 – also known as UFC Vegas 20 and UFC Fight Night 186 – at the UFC’s APEX Facility in Las Vegas. The prelims kick off at 5 p.m. ET on ESPN+, followed by the main card on ESPN+ at 8 p.m. Below, we analyze the UFC on ESPN+ 50 odds and lines, with picks and predictions.
Krylov vs. Ankalaev: Odds, spread and lines
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 5:09 a.m. ET.

Krylov vs. Ankalaev: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Krylov 27-7 Ankalaev 14-1
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
Since arriving at the UFC level, Krylov has alternated wins and losses in his four fights. He has a win by submission over Ovince Saint Preux at UFC 236, so he has the tools to win on any night. He has losses to Jan Blachowicz and Glover Teixeira, which are certainly nothing to be embarrassed about. While that’s all well and good, Ankalaev enters on a three-bout KO/TKO streak, including back-to-back round-1 stoppages against Ion Cutelaba. Roll with ANKALAEV BY KO/TKO, DQ OR SUBMISSION (-125) on the 5-way line.

Over/Under (O/U)
Play NO (-200): “WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE?” While risking two times your potential return is a little more than I like to spend, it’s a good bet we’ll get a finish between these two. UNDER 2.5 ROUNDS (-155) is a slightly better value.
In addition, roll with ANKALAEV TO WIN ROUND 1 (+225) for a chance to more than double up. Each of his past two fights haven’t lasted past the first round.
