UFC Oklahoma City Betting Lock: McMillen vs Montes Finish Prop
The betting pick for UFC Oklahoma City targets a featherweight clash guaranteed to end violently.
MMA Mania is backing Tommy McMillen versus Alberto Montes to finish inside the distance at -200 when the promotion lands at Paycom Center on Saturday night. The main card opener pits McMillen's knockout power against Montes' submission game in what the outlet called a classic striker-versus-grappler showdown.
Why McMillen vs Montes Projects as Early Finish
McMillen carries a 90 percent finish rate into the bout and has reached the scorecards just once as a professional, according to the report. His UFC debut was described as sloppy but entertaining, with McMillen trading recklessly and trusting his athleticism to survive firefights. The 145-pounder trains alongside Sean O'Malley and is considered a prized protege at the bantamweight champion's camp.
Montes owns a 73 percent finish rate with seven submission wins, per MMA Mania, and possesses what the site termed one of the nastiest front choke games in the division. The piece noted that pre-fight trash talk has added genuine tension to an already volatile stylistic matchup, suggesting patience will disappear once the cage door closes.
The main event features former middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis against ex-welterweight titleholder Kamaru Usman. First bell is Saturday night in Oklahoma City.
